"Today I witnessed someone riding towards Elephant and Castle roundabout looking rather worried. Single speed, no fucking brakes!"

"Single speed and no brakes... It's been done. Mind you it's only been done by idiots, but it's definitely been done."

"How does it work?"

...in short, it it doesn't. And yes, you'll find a few "cool" videos" on youtube supposedly demonstrating how it's done. Do a combined search including the word cunt, and you won't miss a thing.
