I was just joking about that, so you know.

ok, fixed gear isn't for everyone. I didn't care for them until I spent a few hours on one on the street (previously I had only borrowed friends' bikes and rode around the parking lot). Doing an actual ride with one really caught me and then it felt weird getting back on a geared bike. The bikes feel different and I think it's good to have a bit of both. You know, why not?
