I fitted new bars today, so rode about 2 miles brklzz to my lbs to get some new brake cable & outers. It beats me how anyone could ride brakeless without riding gingerly all the fucking time. I purposely rode through estate streets and avoided needed to stop as much as possible but even then ...
Mind you it probably doesn't help that I can't trackstand. Having to slow enough to stop and put your foot down at junctions must be half the battle. This is probably the only time I need to use my front brake.
