The Ultimate Brakeless/Front/Rear/How many brakes? thread

as someone who can skid comfortably i still felt uncomfortable last week when my front brake cable snapped

the prospect of riding without any form of actual brake (ie method to rapidly deccelarate) just sounds stupid

am assuming the OP is slightly young and reckless - i do remember drunkenly using mopeds when 19 on the greek islands, with hindsight possibly one of the most fucking stupid things I have done (others here can probably point out a whole load of moronic shit i have done as well)

so yep, we all do stupid shit, but learning from it is the most important thing

when i first saw this thread pop up I was worried that the OP had learnt the lesson the hard way and so was actually relieved that common sense had prevailed, rather than becoming intimately acquainted with a car/lorry/wall/pedestrian

Not as young as you might think, but reckless, yes. But I have learnt from it, and fortunately, not the hard way.

I liked your cycle training post. I'm going to check out what there is in my area. I've been riding bikes since I was a kid, but could definitely benefit from this, thanks for posting it.

And thanks for not calling me an illiterate fuckwit ;)
