front brake freewheelers:
There's a whole lot more to effective and safe use of braking than an emergency stop, this thing called "controlling speed" for instance.
This is why bicycles designed by very clever people who actually do know more than you (yes, really) about Physics and a great many other things, have front and rear brakes. You faux fixie non-skidders don't seem to understand a lot about cycling so I can see why your argument has no substance.
Now get a grip and stop being such fucking incredibly hubristic poseurs.
