If you haven't got anything nice to say don't say anything!

well, it was aimed at the brakeless newbies really. But then I remembered you had a crash recently, but I don't know if that was due to you riding without brakes or not.

So I thought I'd better stick in the disclaimer to be on the safe side

Haha! It wasn't a car, I was brakeless, it was more a problem of foot retention and big hills! :)

Fair point tho.
