Speaking of baseless, fixie is not the keeper of zen. Or all fixie discussions should be in the "politics and religion" forum maybe?

Anyway, fixie isn't for everyone/everything and there is cost if you are going to convert. Anyone telling you that your brain is so inferior that you just have to do the conversion first to understand the pros and cons is just insulting you. If you rode a big wheel once in your life, you rode fixie. If you pay a bunch of money for a conversion, you may suffer the same cognitive dissonance as these nice gentlemen here ("I paid a bunch 'o money, this must be great!"), LOL
