If it weren't for bikeforums, I wouldn't know what to ride, how to ride it, or what to wear while riding it.

Actually, I wanted a new commuter bike. Something for winter, something that was pretty durable, fun to ride, and easy to take care of. A fixie seemed to meet all those criteria. I asked around here and a couple of people were kind enough to point me in the right direction. But I don't think I would have considered a fixed gear if it weren't for Bike Forums.
