Why Is This the Most Popular Fixed Gear Ratio?

What gear ratio are you running? It's the most popular question among fixed gear riders, but chances are, it's 48/17. 48/17 is by far the most popular fixed gear ratio. It can do most riding well: flat speed, climbing, descending, skidding, tricking, tracklocrossing. But how? And should you ride the most popular fixed gear ratio?
