I love those first nerve racking days of riding fixed (I had mine about three and a half weeks ago) and once you start getting certain techniques, you can't help but laugh while thinking about all of the freewheelers who don't have to do any of this while riding. It's almost as if you're on some sort of zen level with your bike; you know it so well that you can anticipate nearly everything. Anyway, I wouldn't call myself or anyone a fixie zen master until they have a few years under their belt, but I LOVE riding fixed and I can't imagine going back to lazy coasting.
