riding with a rear brake is needless. The guys that ride fixies without front are posers and suiciders. It is plain stupidity. Front brake is vital to your safety. I never use it, but i have it - just in case.

@huntingdragon that guy has 4 brakes. left leg right leg. and her rear and front brake.

@bonzoshifferman front brake = flying off your bars

So fixed gears literaly only have one gear... how do you cope with hills or when the bike runs out of gears going downhill and runs away with you!

@MetallicA478 slam the handle bars and stop. I've yet had emergencies. And I stayed on the bike :P My ass is too heavy to fly over the bar.

@bonzoshifferman oh what are you gonna do in an emergency? slam the front brake and fly over the handle bars?

@bonzoshifferman my bike doesnt have holes for the front or rear brake some do and some dont. i like riding a track bike compared to any other. ive been riding for 5 yrs first year with a brake. i dont recommend people taking off their brake unless your ready and able to spin your gear to max full speed for long periods of time. if you can then why not take em off.i know im not a poser or suicider i never think about dyin. lifes too short to worry about others opinions people need to be original
