Interesting (well, marginally).
I was hooked the first time I rode fixed, coming from a geared road bike (so not SS). I also rode it brakless the first time (test ride round the block) so had no choice but to brake with my legs. I may get teh flamez, but I really think this helped me become accommodated to fixed much more quickly, otherwise it might have just felt like riding an irritating road bike.
Still, I'd keep at it (if you want to, that is. If you don't want to, you'll never have the right attitude to learn to like it)
