Uhh, which laws of physics are you referring to? This isn't Star Trek you know - if you think that you can use some formulation of Newtonian mechanics to back up your point then please do so.
Speaking as a fixed rider who also has freewheeled bikes and a Part 1A qualification in Physics from (wait for it) Cambridge University, I think you are speaking twaddle; except in the case where the cornering speed to which you are referring sends my fixed cadence stupidly high (> 145 rpm or so, I suppose), such as in an Alpine descent. On London roads, never.
