Whats with all the newbies all wanting to ride brakeless?

Jake But it's one thing saying it, I really don't think a lot of people would actually get on a bike for the first time and go off around London without any brakes.

Jake is absolutely right.

Most people don't actually get on a bike in London at all, brakes or not.

Number one reason for not getting on a bike? It's too dangerous. So even though it may seem as every c*** has got a fixie, actually most c***s are staying in the car.
