I get why guys who train mainly on freewheel bikes stop pedaling, but it does drive me crazy. I spent most of my time when developing riding the road with full time track riders. We were told to soft pedal instead of freewheel. If someone did freewheel it was because they were getting ready to stop, pothole or serious heavy braking was about to occur.
