depends what's making you uncomfortable
if you're worried about stopping distances and the chance of hurting someone who steps out in front of you - put a brake on.
if you're worried about getting gripped by the cops now that they're newly clued up on track bikes - put a brake on and don't use it. You don't even have to put an inner in.

Very much in a similar boat. Rather pay ~£15 for a brake than £70 for a fine. If I was solely riding on the weekend or evenings I wouldn't bother, but hitting Blackfriars at peak commute hours is prime for sneaky beik cahps.
Have put a brake on, will not use it (I have a nicely painted brake track I'd like to keep that way).

@billybob.
Kinda know the answer to this already.. have been riding brakeless for about 10 years.. never jump lights, undertake and ride responsibility. However with all that's happened lately I just don't feel comfortable riding brakeless on the daily London comnute on the mash.
Anyone else feeling the same?
