I'm fairly against fixie from a practicality standpoint, and because of the scene associated with it, but don't mind SS track bikes.
I agree with you, the scene behind it can be pretty lame, at least here on campus. It is neat to customize it, and I have thought about getting one because I only use one gear on my road bike 99% of the time, but I've seen countless examples of people getting old Schwinns and immediately taking off all the gears, most likely just to look "cool", and I don't want to be associated with those people

Besides, I could still destroy them in a race if need be regardless of how many gears I have! It's always nice to have a high gear for cruising

Plus I think I might get tired of pedaling if I didnt have a free spinning ..hub? cog? freewheel? whatever it is called
