Advantages: they combine the clean minimal cableless appearance of fixed gear bikes with the added functionality of being able to coast along (so you dont need to pedal while descending a hill). they're quiet. No clunking, clicking, freewheel or cassette noise. they're safer. The mechanical braking advantage puts less stress on your knees. they're comfortable. You can run any big, flat pedal without pedalstrike or straps, allowing more comfortable riding and shoe choice. the hubs are sealed so they're protected from the elements and thus perform well in rain or snow. Dissadvantages: brake should be varied on and off for long descents, to avoid overheating they may need to be repacked with grease every few years. they ain't light weight cos they're combining your wheels with your brakes. A coaster brake can only be applied when the cranks are reasonably level, takes a bit of getting used to. As coaster brakes are only made for rear wheels, they have the disadvantage common to all rear brakes of skidding the wheel easily.
