Yeah, me too. This question confuses my little brain. My fixed gear bike is a road bike, just one that happens to have a single, fixed gear.
Today I took the bike out for some super-tempo work and spun along at 22mph in the drops for a good 15 miles. Man, that was hard. But I can see why many old-school time trialists prefer a fixed gear. Once you get rolling, there's a momentum that takes over.
