Ah shit, you sort of do, and yes I can, it’s an incremental comfort thing more than a fundamental problem with riding fixed.
Stevethecoffee-
sorry after rereading I do come across as a dick ahaha
I meant that in comparison with using a single speed cog I don't see the point because the advantages you mentioned are there already, especially if, like you mention, you find the "back going light too unsettling". I get your point of it being an incremental comfort thing although I don't feel the same, I feel it would be an inconvenience. But like someone said, to each their own. I never said it was a problem.

Don't mean to come across as a dick but if you want a rear brake to control your cadence and you can't manage the speed of your bike with your legs (and if you use your front brakd often), I don't see a point in riding fixed. It's counter-intuitive. A single speed cog would be ideal for that kind of use.
