Whats with all the newbies all wanting to ride brakeless?

Object17 [quote]bracestower Am I mistaken, or is brakeless riding already technically regulated in that a bike is supposed (by law) to have two braking mechanisms?

I may be wrong though...

Legally speaking you're quite right. Bikes should have two seperate braking mechanism, minimum handlebar width of 350mm (Though that's from memory so may not be the exact figure) And if it's dated after 1985 a rear red reflector and amber reflectors on the pedals.

Not likely to happen really...[/quote]

I thought the law was that new bikes had to be sold like that, not that all bikes should have them.
