Gear ratios for no brakes riding...

so ed, you tell people to get cycle training without ever having seen them ride or having it done yourself, tell people to have two brakes for control while having none yourself (and still think you are a responsible/safe/sensible cyclist?)? why not just refrain from saying anything about topics that you have no authority to be talking authoritatively about.

Ed doesn't walk his bike fast enough to really need brakes.

Good, comfortable shoes perhaps, but not brakes.
