@JSSR if you commute brakeless all winter in wet/rain/dark you will for sure get a driver pull out of a side turn "without seeing you" and you go slam into the side of them, even with brakes it's a common thing but without you just leave yourself open to an instant and huge amount of abuse from all involved as no brakes is seen as an instant win for the drivers insurance and case closed by any police involvement. Should seriously consider adding a winter/beater bike or second set of forks to your collection.
