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

you still wont back down. as wiganwill said you should ask your friend her opinion. it would be interesting to know what she thinks before and what she thinks after reading this thread.

Well one obvious difference is that it was his decision; and it should be your girlfriend's, not your's. You talk about her like some 1950's husband always knowing what is best for the little woman.

1 She's read this thread and her only comments were "why the fuck are you wasting your time arguing with these idiots, it makes you just as stupid as them."

2 She decides what she wants and doesn't want on her bikes. I had to persuade her to put a back brake on.(see below)

Okay so after Pistoffski's point earlier, I have discussed it with my girlfriend and I am going to fit a rear brake

3 I think you guys should admit that you're making one rule for person and one for another. After all the arguments you have put forward against not running some kind of back brake, how can you condone someoe riding an 'oridinary bike' in a group bike ride?
