    ditto on knees feeling better riding fixed. they hurt like hell for 2 weeks because you use muscles you never worked out before, but after that, you feel like a machine.

    the problem with freewheels/coasting is you pump out energetic bursts of pedalling then coast until you slow down and repeat, fixed is a more consistent cadence. and running a break lessens the stress on the knees if that ends up being a problem.
