I ran my bike as a singlespeed with a front brake only for 4 or so months no problem. You get used to it, and I rarely ever used my rear brake on my old bike anyway. It was a hydra disc brake though, so the control and modulation was nice :) It's not dangerous, I don't think. You get used to it.
Yeah, I agree. Now I'm fixed I've got only a front brake still but what's wrong with two? I'm going to stick 2 on because I want to two brake hoods, and a dummy brake looks lame.
