Fixed seems scary when you first try it....I've been commuting fixed for about two months now and after the first few rides, it doesn't seem any more scary or dangerous than riding with a freewheel. You subconsciously learn to start slowing down sooner, and you quickly lose the instinct to glide. It is addictive...I recently made several hundred dollars worth of upgrades on my geared road bike, and I still don't ride it...my cheap fixie is way more fun. I predict that you'll eventually end up riding the 925 fixed and hardly ever switch back to the freewheel.
