It's been two days since I switched my SS to fixed. Today was the first time that riding fixed felt, well, more fun. The last time I had an experience like this on a bike was probably when I first learned to ride one! It's a shame I won't be using my White Industries ENO anymore since riding fixed just feels more natural now. Thanks for the responses.

ouch. when i first got my bike, i rode brakeless for a month or so. then got a brake. jumped in with both feet lol. riding fixed is the only way to ride. if you haven't, dont knock it, you dont know what you're missing
