Yes. What they all said.
It feels odd at first. Hard to describe why, but initially I felt I had less control, even though you are still riding the same bike and it should not be that different.
A practice in the park, followed by a week of taking it easy, (with the odd try-to-freewheel moment), and after a couple of weeks I had virtually forgotten about it.
Took a couple of months to get back up to the same speed though.
nb Speed bumps are the hardest thing to get used to pedalling over.
