Coasting is for wimps. When you get used to it, you're not thinking of braking and swerving, you're suddently going slower from the pressure from your legs and swerving. I don't think I can ride a freewheel anymore - I'd have to think about the brakes, and move my hands to touch them to slow down. In that time, I've usually avoided whatever was in the way.
