Do any of you...
 
commute on an Affinity Lo Pro? That too me looks like it would be awful for any sort of long distance... Thanks.

Oh those wacky fixie riders... always comin' up with some new fangled way to be uncomfortable in the name of fashion.

Track geometry for commuting. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

yes i do. i also ride my trek madone on dirt trails and drive my car on water.

Not just any track bike, but a pursuit frame.
If one of my coworkers starts at my halfway point and I catch them before the parking lot, does that mean I get the day off?

Naw. I chose a cross check frame to build up my fixed gear because it had more relaxed geometry and versatility than a track bike. Plus I need fenders and the option to throw on a rack. That combination of things is hard to find in an off-the-shelf fixed gear bike, there are only a few frames that can do it.

Surely there are some people that commute on the lo pro though...

Why you asking anyway, you want to do it?
