Bike porn

Far less dangerous if you live in a flat country, and are riding with others who are used to riding in a group and are on similar bikes/gears.

i will go with that

no no no, long rides are perfectly doable with brakeless... I don't understand this "No brakes, can't be ridden further than the park" mentality....
I don't get it either, people who say you can ride longer and further on gears clearly don't know that if you keep pedaling and pedaling on fixed, you can go as far as you want....

and as you can't stop peddling it means you are forced to go forever. Perpetual motion.

Far less dangerous if you live in a flat country, and are riding with others who are used to riding in a group and are on similar bikes/gears.

Or if you learnt to ride in hilly country.

edit: bigger picture

This looks like it's been coloured in with a sharpie.. Not porn.

I'm saying its dangerous not impossible

3 of us 7 riders who took the long way from stuttgart to barcelona (1514km) rode brakeless, all those up and downs. just a note.

Is that your bike Nutsjesmoar?

If I was in a chain gang moving at speed I would not want some one riding fixed brakeless behind me, in the same way I don't appreciate a guy on gears sitting on his tt bars behind me. That is all I am saying on the topic, I am sure there are a great variety of situations where it is fine, however I think as it doesn't effect performance what so ever why not be safer..

I understand why not brakless, but why this?

no brakes but (s*)he can't even use their legs to slow them down in an emergency

• almost fell foul of my own criticism

Have you ever tried manouvering on tt bars? It's not that easy.. Now where's that vid of the tri guys when you need it?

Here it is!

No it isn't. Found it on Retrobike, didn't know how to post it so uploaded it on my Flickr.

I like the fact that it looks like a factory model but has modern technology due to it's Athena 11 speed.

good then you wont mind me commenting on how crap the cabling is

haha, nope. I didn't even notice that. I just really like the bike. But you're right about the cabling.

Man :( Now I can't look at it without looking at the cabling :(

wait till the bar to lever transition gets hold of you

allready spotted that, but that doens't bother me.

That's getting on my nerves now you mention it..

Turn up to your local chaingang brakeless and see if anyone will let you on their wheel. Most of them will have ridden a track bike at some point so understand what's involved.

Really nice.

The wheels are a bit shouty but I'm sure they ride well.
