Brakes were good
With my 48x16 gearing maxed out and a van pulled out in front of me last night. If not for my front brake i would have t-boned them i think. I almost hit them anyway. Absolutley no way to have skidded and not hit them. Since i was hauling ass when i nailed the front brake i ended up over the bars. Very messy, long crash but i lived. Wrist is apparently fractured and some bruises. Will have to see.
If i had hit the van i would be VERY hurt im sure. Be careful. |
Glad to hear you're alright, hope you have a quick recovery.

But without brakes your bike would look so much cooler.

Ive decided to reconsider. |
oh yeah? well my buddy rode home without brakes the other night and he's just fine.
the only logical conclusion is to blame your accident on your front brake. |
If you had been riding brakless, you would have been in mental Ninja/Zen mode and would have seen the van much earlier ;o
|
actually, while riding brakeless, I can actually ride THROUGH things. cause I'm so connected to my bike and such.

Sad but true fact about mander: I have a brake on my bike but I never use it these days because its really wet all the time and I just hate when my skinwalls get that black crap on them.

never had a brake on my fixies, dont see the point and all I do is stop and start most of the day

Come on... this arguement has been beaten to death, and isn't going anywhere. I'll never push my riding style on anyone else. People ride how you want. Who lives/dies? Who knows. Just be careful, and pay attention.

brakes are good..... if you're a communist.
