  • i dont have a proper brake because the forks don't have a hole? i have seen loads of people ride with out brakes, so how do you do this ?
    thanks lydia xx

  • Pull a face stop - just get your face close enough to the concrete to friction a stop at those crucial lights

  • pull a what?

  • face stop.

  • face stop:

    pull a face, grimace or something, and your bike will stop all by itself

  • you need balls to brake well but you can't teach and old dog new tricks

  • eeerrrr i am female !!!!!!

  • hey
    maybe this is a pisstake maybe not......anyway........stop riding the bike........find someone near you who is willing to help - opiton one 1- drill the forks - similar to raping the bike

          option 2   - change the forks - something like plastic surgery
          option 3- ride really slow ,during the night, learn to backpedal or skid
    

    if you go for either 1 or 2 - fit the brake afterwards

  • ok thank you very much for your comments. i hope to see you on the road soon : )

  • what will make you obvious so we know to avoid getting hit?
    i'm not being mean just precautious

  • broken77 is right. stop riding that bike. doesnt matter if you're male or female no one can ride a brakeless bike right the first time and it takes time to learn how to so skid stops or skip stops.

    2 would be the best option from the above. or there are attachments you can buy to fit brakes on track forks all the way from japan... i dont have the link though...

  • for some strange reason i think something is not quite right here:-)

    Ha-ha! That's not my real name, its just something I picked up whilst travelling!

  • In all serious, I will fit a proper brake as I am finding it really difficult without one. I just thought there might be a secret trick that one of you could help me learn. I often see people with no brakes and would love to learn, but you guys are right, I should take this one step at a time!!

    Thanks anyway xx
