Brakes?

The funny thing is, i used to view brakeless riders with serious contempt. Much more than anyone has displayed on this thread. I still believe there really is no justification for it (aside from bar spins), because you can have a brake (or 2!) on your bike and just not use them.

i love this topic so much i signed up so i could chip in. brakes are for mugs, real cyclists don't stop. ever.

Thanks for your contribution. I'm guessing you're not a real cyclist since you are on an internet forum and not out riding.

no, flat out FTW

This thread is so shit that I tagged it as such.

oops

ha!

i'm out riding and posting at the same time from my iphone. don't hate me because i can ride no handed yo

Okay.
But I hate you because you use an iclone.

i'd use my 17" macbook pro but it just falls off the bars whenever i hit the space key.

^^ Best thing that could happen to a macbook IMO

not sure why a lots of people are anxious to try and get across a junction when the light change between amber to red.

One possible reason could be to avoid the nutters revving their engines behind you?

I find that quite intimidating, especially because I can't see what's going on behind me.

I was talking about motorised vehicle actually, not cyclists.

I'm thinking about trying brakeless driving....i'll let you know how it goes, this thread is so pointless.

engine braking then??

i eat poop.

I love brakes and have 2 on both my bikes

Currently no brakes, but hopefully will get a brake soon as my gear is too high for me to stop quickly at 48:16

I'm not sure if you know this or not, but 48:16 brakeless is a pretty expensive option. It gives precisely ONE skidspot. Bye bye tyres...

If you are going to make comparisons, like with like is needed. Otherwise you can say any old crap and even start a religion or fringe political party, you'll be guaranteed to find some people with a vested interest to agree with you.

Brakes help me to stop my bike when I am riding it.

Amish men don't use brakes.

These are flip-flops made of fish

Slippers with flippers!
