Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - do we need a word for that thing we do?

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

"Back pedaling", "Leg braking", "Slowing down with your legs".

I think this pedal resisting thing needs some kind of new term.

Right now I'm trying to think of a name that expresses how much I actually dislike doing it. One that distills the essence of the unpleasant feeling I get from it.

Muscular Dry Heaving comes to mind.

Quadkill. v. to represent the action of resisting the forward motion of the pedals of a fixed gear bicycle.

Ex. I was quadkillin' it when I mowed down some ***** on a recumbent. He really should have had one of those flags. Rad.
