I ride fixed with front brake only. Front brake cable snapped near the end of my 10km morning commute today. Bought replacement cable but needed to get bike home to fix with tools...
So, rode home brakless tonight. Gotta say, it scared the shit outta me, even with my herculean legs. Had to ride at about 20kmh all the way home, about a quarter of my usual speed. Has made me think twice about putting the rear brake on too.
