Technically you're supposed to have a front and rear brake and they're supposed to be `efficient'. The current Highway code is a bit of a joke when it comes to cycling (ie you're not allowed to have flashing lights or more than one front and rear light on the bike as it may confuse drivers).
The new draft Highway code should bring it closer to reality, if they can just get rid of the 'must use cycle facilities when available' bit.
