You definitely need to be a lot more alert when riding fixed on the street. Alert when cornering to avoid pedal strike, alert when making slow tight turns due to toe to front tire overlap, alert when entering and exiting the pedals for starts and stops. Also, foot retention is optional when riding SS, but not when riding FG.
