"in regards to the fixie brake issue, the rule has been amended. We don't care how you stop your bike, only that you can stop your bike, so the handbrake rule has been eliminated, but you will be penalized for crashing into people if you can't control your bike. (brakes or not). We felt it wasn't fair to introduce this after the season has started. We trying to stick to simply clarifying existing rules during the season, and only adding new rules once a , before a new season starts."
