One day I flipped over to the freewheel to see if I felt stronger as a result of riding fixed for a while, but I was actually shakier on the SS because I was trying to resist the pedals and nothing was happening.
I tried riding my road bike awhile back but I kind of freaked out. I felt really out of control.

I've never ridden "SS" because it seems pointless to me. Mind as well get some gears (insert Getsomegears.jpg)
so yeah, im not voting.
