I've been out without my brakes on a few times, once just to see what it was like and a few times just for a bit of a change, and it was *different**, in fact I quite liked it, but I'm way too lazy to ride like that all the time.
*By 'it was different' I mean it was alright going slow and on the flat, but at 30mph down a steep hill hurtling towards a red light junction with a main road, cranks spinning fast as fuck and trying to slow down by backpedalling, was not an experience I would like to repeat.
