The first one is dangerous and the bike will buck you off by throwing you over the handlebars. At the track clinic we practiced trying to coast at slow speed to get the feeling of what the bike would do and train our brain not to do it. It can happen when you least expect it - be careful.
Every time I start my track interval training I get a shock in my hypoxia at the end of the first interval when I stop pedaling. Believe me, I only do that once.
