I'm not trying to avoid your question but my honest answer is, "You have to try it to understand." Fixed riding is so different from freewheeled riding that if you've never done it no one will be able to explain it fully. A fixed gear bike is almost like an extension of your body, not just a vehicle that you sit on top of and control. I can't say that it is 'better' than a freewheeled bike, but I can say with absolute certainty that it is a whole different experience than riding freewheel.
