flip/flop question

I understand the langster has, or adapts easily to a flip flop hub?
If so, does the wheel have "quick release" clamps? (sorry I don't know the correct term)

Just wondered if you guys flip/flopped much while riding, just every once in awhile or what?

Since most of my riding is in the city, though, i don't really flip/flop at all. You'll end up leaving it fixed as well.
