Word.

For me I like my FG because I like the intuitive "the slower you pedal the slower you go, the faster you pedal the faster you go" nature of it. You can make minute corrections to your speed without even thinking about it. When I ride my geared bike it feels like I'm constantly feathering the brake, whereas even though I have and use a brake on my FG, I can slow down just slightly to avoid a car or pothole or time a light just by resisting the pedals. I think this is what people mean when they say they feel more "connected." Or maybe it's all just FG BS.
