Twigdip, riding fixed without clips or straps is lunacy IMO, you gain so much: control, pedal stroke efficiency, not to mention stopping power! Hence why you never see anyone with any common sense riding fixed without one of the above. Do yourself a favour get some clips or straps sooner rather than later,
(I prefer double toe straps) because inevitably you will need them if you want to be able to control your bike at any kinda speed above 10mph.
