Actually I believe that ILTB doesn't even own any bikes and is just trolling around

I ride a fixed on occasion, I rode fixed way back in the 70's when I was racing, as a training aid. They have their advantages and disadvantages just like every type of bike. You could probably use any one type of bike for every situation...whether it would be/is suitable is a debatable point.
