i had never ridden fixed before i bought a converted road bike with a flip flop hub
thinking i could just ride singlespeed if i didnt like fixed.
i have never used the freewheel and fixed is definately the better way.
i think i convinced myself i would like and then found i actually did if that makes any sense?
as for brakeless, i did it for a week because i did not have a brake lever and then stuck a front one on.
its good to have it for safety but i think i may ditch it one day.
