There is only one thing stopping me from ditching the freewheel and go fixed and that's cornering.
I usually cycle pretty fast, and corner pretty sharp also, and since on a fixed, the pedals would keep turning, it would put me at risk of flopping off my bike when leaning.
That really puts me off.
I did just that on a fixed BMX years ago on a quiet road and i went friggin flying.
It just seems to me way dangerous on London roads with all the killing machines around you i.e. cars
