Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Seriously, enjoy it man. You will learn to love it so much. And it totally gives you a different outlook on bicycling in general, not just on a fixed or tarck bike.
Any day you end up becoming "one with the road" is a bad ****ing day IMO...
