People who ride brakeless must be mentally deficient. Why would you intentionally choose to endanger other road users? A bit selfish don't ya think. It's not like you can't fit a brake but not use it. The annoying thing, no matter you say to them, it's win-win. If you tell them you think it's really cool and edgy, they feel great about themselves and see themselves as bicycling pioneers. If you tell them it's dangerous and irresponsible they feel like Mad Max, an outlawed rebel who refuses to live by rules imposed by the powers that be.
But hey it's your choice, feel free to indulge in this trend. I'll be laughing when you go head first into the back of a minicab and then need reconstructive surgery on your entire face, not to mention getting sued.
Enjoy your trip to A&E.
