Because by not pedalling fast enough you are resisting the pedals (albeit by a small amount). Which is why fixed tends to be slower downhill, when people can't keep up with the cadence.... they are still pedalling fast but also slowing down.

If your foot is being "helped" or pushed around, you are slowing the bike down, this is a negative of fixed not a positive.

whatever dude, i see your point but its a bit far from what i was originally trying to say.

and you simply take your feet off the pedals when you're going down a hill, no resistance then is there? except you're screwed if you're running brakeless
