They're like the blade on the Swiss army knife that you never use, or a vestigial tail. An evolutionary cul-de-sac.

i got my phils with the freewheel side with the intention of using it as a winter beater...and they were also kind of a half-assed valentine's day present for my girlfriend. she said she couldn't accept them, because, at the time, i was trying to build up my lotus...i told her it would be her bike, but she still couldn't accept it, so the freewheel side remains bare...oh well...maybe someday....

I build a SS grocery getter and only use freewheel side. Perhaps this poll should be more specific and question fixie riders only if they use the freewheel side.

I have a Suzie FF fixed w/ no freewheel. So no I never use it. But I have been thinking of getting a freewheel just for shts and giggles. Also I live in the mountains so I may want to get like a 20 tooth or something just to get up the big climbs. So I may one day use it.

if you dont use the FREEwheel, it means the terrorists have won...
if bush rode flip/flop, he would only use the freeDOMwheel
