    Reads a lot like the Guardian article....

    Serial tho, for the 'pro no brakes' guys. Why, not?
    Whats the reason for no brake on the bike, honestly.
    The law says its a no-no, common sense, general consensus, countless threads and even court cases say so.
    So theres gotta be a better reason then 'dont wnt 1' lol
    It dint used to be a big deal really but, well, now look what you've all gone and caused!!

    Asking for a friend.

    In regards to Charlie he has been kinda lucky.
    The Judge sounds intelligent and fair.
    The charge of Manslaughter is dropped because there is no solid case for negligible action.
    There is no case for negligible action because you cannot prove whether someone knows something or not, in respect to the defence.
    The Judge urged the Jury to take care with deliberation, reminding the Jury of the defendants age and the rarity of the accident.
    The Judge is considering a jail term in response to the defendants actions surrounding the case and his demeanor in court.

    Laws are gonna be changing and theres deff gonna be some aggro.
    I've noticed cars n shit getting closer in past few weeks, Ive got a road bike and don't usually have problems.
    Maybe I'm doing it.
    I dunno.

  • Serial tho, for the 'pro no brakes' guys. Why, not?

    Why are you even asking?
    Do you want to be convinced?
    Do you want someone else to be convinced?

    Or do you just want to tell someone how stupid they are and how you're the better person because you obey the law?

    Edit: that reads quite aggressively, sorry. I just don't see much value in having that discussion, now or ever.

  • Its not aggressive.

    I just want people to question themselves privately.
    I don't for one second think anyones gonna be dumb enough to openly try and justify it in this thread.
    I can't hold a moral high ground either, I have an mtb with no rear brake.
    Bit bigger than bragging rights all this, thats a bit horn tooty, but I'm sure you feel me.

    Edit;
    I kept reading the thread. Some appalling attitudes here lmao.
    We can't control or be honest with ourselves, it seems, let alone the vastly diverse (in every way) national population of pedestrians.
    People don't even listen to each other anymore, when did riding your bike become such a circle jerk hahahahah
