Anon I need a bike.
I've been monitoring a number of online communities and came to the conclusion I need to be guided by your wisdom.

I'll use it mainly for leisure and fitness, ~60km/day

I rounded down my options to the following

1) Rigid 26" mtb. Used, ill just buy the cheapest BSO and call it a day. No fear of thieves, no fear of ruining it.

2) Fixed gear with drop bars
New. I like Santafixie.

3) Road bike. Used. To try make frens at the cycling club

Would like your opinion on the matter

You don't actually say what you need a new bike for, so I'm reading between the lines that you intend to do mostly city street riding. I'd go for a road bike, if I could find something nice.
Fixed gear is fun but I don't trust any of the companies on the new fixie market segment today. I'm not familiar with most of the names and they all look like BSOs to me.
Rigid mtb could make sense if you put slicks on it, but I think 60km/day is far enough that I'd want something more efficient.
/ my two cents

road bike obviously.
i would consider a nice 80s/90s one though if your budget is tight and you're willing to overhaul it.

+1 for fixed gear fren, and if it's brakeless you can easily swap out bars with your moods, I have flat, drop and am making bulls when the used pair of drops I bought arrives in the mail

Road bike.
Ride alone or just with a single good buddy you trust and understand well.

A fixie is a retarded choice for such long distances. I'm curious, do any fixie riders actually ride for 60 km per day? Maybe there's the rare masochist who does, but those people probably could've done way more than that with a proper road bike anyway.

carbon aero road bike with di2, dick brakes, and full lycra. don't even think about stepping out on to the road with a bike that costs less than car.
