I feel much more at one with the bike when riding fixed and clipped in. I jumped on my racer last night with platform pedals (V12s have amazing grip), but felt like Bambie on it, after a while i was used to it, but was far too agressive when appying rear brake. because i've become accustomed to not having one. Tbh, although only been riding fixed for couple of months and freewheel since about 6yrs i feel much more controlled on my fixed.
