To be honest, running no brakes has never been an issue - its not a style/looks thing but I've learnt to ride brakeless and really enjoy it. I've never put anyone in danger nor do I ride like a dick.
I don't ever ride super super fast that I need to have a brake and even in that sense, judging from the accidents that I've been aware off, flying over the handles coz of the front brake, scares the hell out of me!
