What did you find nasty about it? Where we were you riding? When I started riding fixed, I went up to Tooting common and spent a few hours just riding around to get used to it. This gave the opportunity to learn how to pull away, stop etc. without having to worry about traffic. I probably covered 100 miles in the week that followed, by which time I was totally converted (fixated?). It was still a few months before I got rid of the back brake.
