• none taken mate, i'm just a little tired of having to explain why I ride my track bike without a front brake - it's fun to ride and I like the look of a proper track bike. I don't do it to be cool and pop mad skids in between the traffic. If I'm riding my track bike I'm happy to let others overtake me if I'm not comfortable stopping quickly at that speed.

    If I'm on my road bike with Dura ace brakes, I ride like a mad man cuz I know I can stop on a dime if I need to. The idiots who ride without enough braking power for their speed will either be in hospital or in court fairly soon.

    The brake debate is just as valid for those cool people riding poorly maintained or vintage bikes with steel rims, esp in the wet.
