4. Clean road rash on hands, knees and shoulders
5. Dig chain out of trashcan and re-install
6. Ride to LBS
7. Buy new $6 Z-chain
8. Install new chain and lube

Repeat every three months with periodic wiping/lubing between.

Any fixed gear chain (on the street) that costs over $10 is for aesthetic purposes only.
