I've seen fixies parked in SFO, never seen somebody riding one. They'd have to have amazing legs in that city! It's hard enough just to walk some of those hills!
Occasionally I entertain a thought of converting my old road bike to a fixie. Don't know where I'd ride it though

My dh rides fixed. I find it to be quite a fast and powerful bike. Of course that has to do with the gearing he runs. I would never want a fixie. I like having the option to coast, but they are great for training cause yr forced to pedal. Gears for going uphill are nice, but imagine flying down a hill and you can't stop pedalling. It can be quite scary imo. But he loves it.
