Hey, i have to dissapoint you. I have a flip flop hub:) I'm just not ready for it yet. Started to cycle sometime in june this year and i'm just getting used to london roads. Freewheel plus front brake just gave me more confidence than fixed.
I wasn't planning to defend other ss cyclists just myself.

I think you'd get used to rising fixed quicker than you think, the main concern for me wasn't getting used to the London roads (I gave it two weeks freewheel) but getting the fitness. The nonstop pedaling left my legs ruined by the end of the week for the first couple of months.
