i had to get my car worked on today, so i put my bike in my trunk and decided to ride it home rather than wait around or get a ride. i flipped the wheel cause my journey home was all downhill (with the exception of about two miles of intense uphill). so i flipped my wheel so i could just coast down the hills.

it was the first time in about year i'd ridden freewheel, and it'll probably be about a year until i ride it again. i felt like i had no control at all. worst of all, the freewheel was slipping a little bit, and it terrified me when i was taking off from stoplights when my freewheel would slip back.

all in all, i think next time i'd rather bomb the hills and be exhausted when i get home instead of riding freewheel.
