I don't see myself going fixed anytime soon. I'm a city boy with no interest in track riding, and being able to coast is a huge help when you're splitting traffic and such. I might consider a single-speed for my third bike but a geared utilitarian bike and a geared speed bike come first. So far I only have one of those two, and it isn't complete yet, so I have a way's to go.

I picked up one of those racks and a pair of half-finger gloves for cheapo prices at Performance, and it was raining when I left the store. I fishtailed at a stoplight on the way home, popped the chain off the cog in the process, and nearly ate asphalt. Fun. I took the rest of the ride at a molasses pace.
