Finally got the balls to flip the wheel over and ride fixed today. Don't know why I was so scarred, it was the best ride I'd had in ages. Only did a couple of miles out and back because there was rain forecast and I didn't fancy getting (my bike) soaked. But I felt like I was going so much faster than normal; my average speed was 12.5mph, about normal (but I did go real slow for the first 1/4 mile or so), but spinning out at 22mph is a great if slightly scary feeling. Nearly had an off when I tried to move back on the saddle (normally just stand up a bit, but it wasn't having any of it). I can safely say the freewheel wil not be seeing much use from now on :) i'm off to practice my track stands.
