the first time i rode a fixed gear bicycle. it was a conversion ive been working on and my road bike needed a new tire. so i road the conversion to my friends. first time i tried to coast i thought i was gonna get thrown. but didnt half way to my friends house (about a mile and a half in) i was in love with it. i went down this mild hill that you have to take and it was scary and fun all at the same time. it was forever until i fixed my road bike because i was riding my conversion all the time. now my road bike is the loaner bike for friends. im gonna use it for races and stuff or group rides but my fixed gear is my main bike.
