Brakes on Fixed Wheel Bikes

Is it not a legal requirement to have at least one front brake on a fixed wheel bike? If that is right what happens if you have an accident eg someone turns in front of you! The resulting collision would in part be your fault?

Legally you can hit them, as long as you hit them waist down... like in rugby. No tackles above waist.

Tackle is always below waist, unless I stand on my head.

Well yeah, that's just like your opinion.

That'd be above the chest/shoulders.

Which is the rule that makes fixie bike rugby safe.

Well, I've been out of the circuit ever since the surgery to remove my 3rd nipple... so wouldn't know.
I always play by the rules.

High tackles result in a five minute time out in the naughty corner.

i aint ever going back to no naughty corner. that shit is fucked up

what happens is you'll prob get injured if youre lucky, dead if youre unlucky. this situation can be avoided by having a brake on your bike. you cant stop people being bad drivers, but you can stop your bike

Actually (at least according to sheldon) you only need one brake to have the maximum stopping power (although that one needs to be on the front wheel)...

The reason for having 2 independent braking systems is in case one fails.
