I don't see a problem with it if said person is intelligent enough to put that brake on the back, but freewheel with a front brake only is really fucking stupid, and annoys the hell outta me. Its basically people trying to imitate fixed gear riders who ride with a front brake only, because they think its a "cool/trendy" look, but these people either lack the skills to ride fixed, or are too dumb to realise that fixed gear riders have a rear braking method as well, even if they are only running one visible brake.
