Haha ok. The benefits are a more direct drivetrain that do away with inefficiencies. If you put 200 calories into a fixed/singlespeed that is properly geared, you will travel further than if you put that energy into a similarly equipped geared bike. If you don't believe me, try it. I would think this would be the type of forum that would enjoy this concept.
