I rode BMX for 12 years with a single back brake in the 80's and if anyone remembers how good those brakes were then it is like riding with 1/2 a brake, what with their ineffective one finger DX levers and levers with 90 degree bends placed half way down the bars and what not.
Never did me any harm, or at least I don't think it did as that part of my life is vague at best in my memory.
