thanks Tiswas, the point of this was to got straight to the point, rather than for it to come up several pages of comments later.
With more and more people getting on brakeless bikes sooner and sooner, without the understanding that if they were in an incident they would have very little in the form of the law and rights on their side.
What if the worst happened and you couldn't use your legs after an accident that wasn't your fault but due to the court noting that you had an illegal bicycle on the road you are unable to receive any compensation from the drivers insurance...
Its a horrid and harsh point but people have to know what they are getting into. Dont they?
