you should be able to relax, that is when you start spinning properly, it all feels calm, fluid and easy - you have achieved a decent speed, the pedals are not being pushed so much as just topping up the speed to keep you moving
this is one of the beautiful things about riding fixed
this ability to relax is even more important when spinning down a hill, i tend to find its best to activate the core control and then my legs can do cartoon style circles
