I like to go out at night and just cruise around.. it's fun to go faster than traffic and what not but it's all about just riding.. slow or fast, aggressive or not.. i just like to ride. Coming from the road bike area, I want to try to get into a SS/FG for riding around downtown (Austin).

Would you recommend a Single Speed or a Fixed Gear?

What are adv/dis of both.

I'm leaning towards a single speed for emergency braking issues with stop lights and what not.

What do you think?
