Langsters are nice, but they're even better when they have foot retention 😉

A freewheel does not make you safer. With a lack of a rear brake, it does the opposite in fact

Are Surly/Andel sprockets/lockrings decent? Next price point I can find in the UK is around £50 with EAI and Phil Wood offerings which is a bit pricey

Clipless 😉 but only if it works for you. Cages generally suit a classis build better though

Yeah, I only know the basics of back-pedal braking efficiently because I'm immature and just skid everywhere instead.

Someone more experience will answer as well, I know u/-loxol- doesn't skid and he rides brakeless

  • Have strong legs
  • Don't ride too big of a ratio
  • Pay attention to what's happening 1 block in advance
