Sweet fixie, but with SPD's? On a track, I can understand, but on the street? There are way too many reckless cagers out there, so I use toe clips - easier to exit while spinning if you need to bale in an emergency.

SPD's are actually reasonably easy to get out of..too easy in fact, that I pulled out of them twice, so I now use Time RXS pedals instead, which are far better.
As for toeclips, if you want to deliver power to the drivetrain, you still need stiff soled shoes and the straps so tight that the difference is the same.
