i was kinda the opposite. i heard about the fix thing from a friend last year and built up a beater. rode that around for a while then bought a pista. commuted on that until it started getting really wet here. i moved a few months ago and realized that the topography from my new place to downtown is a bit more interesting than my old commute. seattle has hills, who knew!? so i bought a road bike for commuting and longer weekend rides.
