1. I ride the FG for off-season triathlon training and as a commuter bike. After 6 months of training on the TT bike, riding becomes too much of a chore (always with a cyclo-computer, HR monitor, nutrition, shoes you can't walk in, staring at the front wheel in aeroposition, hours on the trainer, etc....). My fixie is the opposite and makes cycling fun again -- no gears, no computer, no HRM, regular shoes, etc. I do have a brake, though. I'll probably skip riding on the trainer this winter and commute instead to stay in bike shape.

2. Among other things, I was looking for a bike I could ride with the family. I like the simplicity of the bike, and the simplicity of the look.

3. Triathlon and road bikes. Right now I have only a fixie and a tri bike.
