stupid post but ...coasting ?
 

do you find it really weird/hard after riding fixed?

I just got on my 24 bmx and I haven't been on anything but fixed for a year and it was frickin' hard!
stopping ! oh yea you need brakes!
don't forget to stop pedaling through corners 180 cranks like to pedal strike around corners.

didn't think it would be a hard transition.

when i can coast i can feel how ****ty my spin is

Yes, I do. It feels so unnatural to stop pedaling while moving.

Me, too. The first time, my legs stopped every time they passed the top/bottom of the rotation. It was good, though, because now I actually think about my spin while riding fixed and I've improved my spin a lot on both.

I can't count the number of times I have tried to brake the roadie by backpedaling after not having ridden it in a while. I always panic for a second because I forget I have handbrakes available.

same. i try and not get on my road bike. its harder than learning how to ride fixed.

switch hitting is hard... some times you get use to it from one side, and then when you take it from the other side it feel funny

I just coasted about 50 blocks. It was awesome. The beer helped.

the beer always helps. always.

I kind of instinctively remember how to stop each of my bikes although my tall bike was broken for a couple of months and something like that happened. When I finally rode it again I tried to stop with the pedals (****, freewheel), the reached for brake levers (oh yeah, no hand brakes either) and finally stopped with my foot. It was scary for a second or two.
