I'm not sure that's fair. SS with one brake is one method of stopping. Fixie with no brake is one method of stopping. Each with their relative advantage, braking on fixie is probably less prone to failure, so safer, braking on SS would be better braking, since it is the front wheel.
Don't get me wrong, I agree they are nobs for riding around SS/no rear brake. If they wanna get on a bandwagon, they should get on the bandwagon, fix their ride.
I like the sound of that, what does it mean? Tell me what were they doing? I love "people riding shitly" stories.
