Being new to fixed gears I feel the same way about booking it down a hill at a high cadence, without the slaloming. I had my fun coasting 50mph on my road bike, I won't go down those sorts of hills on my FG but I find it thrilling to climb and bomb all the hills around the city pedaling my ass off .

the bike pedals itself, we're just making sure it doesn't stop
