Possible? Sensible?
Reading a lot of the London posts and looking at people's bikes, there are a lot of brakeless bikes, due I imagine to central london being fairly flat.
However, in Birmingham where you can count flat roads on one hand this would surely be a terrible idea no?
Do any of you ride brakeless? If so, how the hell do you stop when going down hill?
