i actually feel much safer riding on a fixed gear in wet and cold conditions then riding a freewheel, i've only been riding fixed for a couple of months and went on a freewheel once cause the fixed was outta action and felt very unsafe riding it and couldnt wait to get back on a fixed, i find them much smoother and less 'jerkier' then free wheel, which gives me more confidence when breaking and turning, maybe thats just me though?
