Fair enough, you'll be fine as long you keep thinking about not pedalling (probably the best advice).
One word of warning, the Eggbeaters pedals while are great and have some lovely float, may not be enough to slow down without accidental unclipping, due to the relaxed spring.
If you want to really slow down by backpedalling, the cheapest and easiest alternative is the Shimano SPD pedals.

Thanks @edscoble, I'm a fairly seasoned roadie so will be clipping into the new bike (I use Crankbrothers pedals/cleats) and the Surly is going to be my winter trainer/commuter, although I suspect it might be my daily driver through the summer too! It's coming with just the front brake but the LBS have offered to fit a rear brake and SS on the flip flop if I want.
