How to answer the question, "where's yer brakes?"

Are you suggesting this is 'CRAZY' but brakeless fixed wheels aren't?
You do realise this is safer (greater stopping power) than a brakeless fixed wheel though right?

I'd rather have two forms of braking personally but I'd also rather have a front brake on a freewheel bike than no brakes and a fixed hub.

Front brake only on S/S is pretty much an invitation to smash your teeth out. I really can't understand why people do it. Personally I think it's people liking the look of fixed but being too pussy to ride it. Why not just ride a BMX or S/S jump bike if you want a freewheel? Those on BMX also seem to have the sense to put the brake on the BACK!
