@sparky

@mobidog
want to put your threatened ego to the test? tell me your commute and bike, and lets see how you stop copmpared to my MAFAC Racers, shall we? (That was a joke BTW, on the fact of the 'brakeless' debate being so driven by threatened egos),

I can't see how it's anything to do with ego, I ride within my limits which I am fully aware of. Ergo, when riding without a caliper brake I ride slowly and carefully, anticipating the actions of all other road users, seen and unseen. I have several bikes and go much faster on my road bike than I do on my 'brakeless' fixed wheel. I have a F. Moser track bike with no drilling for a front brake, among others, if you have to ask. I ride brakeless because I enjoy the state of awareness I enter into, it's almost Zen like, man - I'm like one with the road, the universe, the double rainbow FFS
