I know its more dangerous that front brake + fixed, but still think ss front brakers are the most dangerous.
I don't really see it as being that dangerous, I don't get any kind of adrenaline rush like you would when riding an actual dangerous bike i.e. mtbing in the alps etc
I think most people that think it as being really dangerous have only really ridden road bikes, nothing demanding technical handling skills and want to ride a big gear ratio. I don't ride as fast on brakeless as when i'm on my road bike, but i think its more fun when riding in the city.
