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

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?
