I liked it when I first struck down on my pedal, and was bumped out of my saddle because I was so used to free wheel. To me it was a challenge. Now that I am used to it, I really like it.
I feel like me and my bike are bro's. I press down on the pedals, then the chain moves the wheel, and then the wheel moves the chain, and the chain moves my feet. Its unity. LOLOL. Not to mention its easier to maintain.
