Today I got on an old Schwinn Prelude that I bought for too much money from a guy, and I fell over. I'd really like to start a campaign again freewheel bikes! Those things are just dangerous...you have to actually reach all the way down to the handbrakes to stop! And not to mention, it's impossible to cadence on the damn things. :)

Freewheel bikes == dangerous!
