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

oh jesus. do we really need another debate about this here? and well fucking done for spreading the debate to islington breakfast tables. god...

London demographic fail, Islington is all Times and Telegraph these days. And the Currant Bun on the estates. Do keep up.

No, but Guardian journalists do, apparently. And AA Gill rides fixed these days so maybe the Sunday Times will pick up the thread and retaliate with a double spread to make the Guardian look like amateurs, then the Express will chip in on the Monday with the headline 'Kamakaze Cyclists Without Brakes Join War on Motorists'... from there it will just escalate with Prince Charles writing a subtle letter to the PM with his learned and erudite views, until finally the Obe Wan of cycling, (Mr J. Snow), takes the matter in hand and goes head to head with Peter Hill in a Pro/Anti brake jousting deathmatch to settle the issue.

For some reason this newswipe-style prediction made me chuckle.

Her peice on Lady Gaga was a superb piece of journalism
