Nervous about committing to Single Speed

I find by timing things you can use a little bit of this momentum. If you are slowly rolling but still going you can use it to restart, on a freewheel not so much.

As a recent convert to riding fixed, I'm not sure how much I'm noticing momentum 'giving back' through the pedals, but i definitely use my momentum a lot more effectively overall. I guess i'm slowing down a lot in places where i'd previous do a last minute hard brake which means i'm not having to start up again from a standstill as much. I'm using brakes less and less so i'm riding a lot more fluidly than i did on gears.
