I have considered changing my fixed gear bike to a quick release on the front. I remove the front wheel on my bikes a lot more then the rear because the bike mounts to my rack in the truck with the front fork.

I had a fixed gear bike with a QR on the rear only, to facilitate flipping the wheel to change gear ratios. I used it for club time trials. I would ride out to the time trial in the lower ratio, then flip the wheel to the higher ratio for the race, then back again for the ride home. Of course it was the old fashioned internal cam type QR.
