Heh heh, brakeless riders cussing front brake SSers, that makes me laugh ( in a nice way)
I'm still a bit dubious about Sheldon's braking hypothesis for a few reasons
If you are genuinely annoyed by people riding SSs with a front brake then I am very envious of your lifestyle that is so devoid of any other problems that how someone else sets up their bike can get on your nerves.
I guess my argument is: That IMO a back brake (or brakeless fixed) is useable in all situations to either get you out of trouble, slow you down or stop, whereas there are many situations where using a front brake on its own is highly likely to result in a crash.
