LOL, if anything annoys me it's people who go "hey take the brake off!"
I ride a bike b/c i love biking and hate public transport and traffic

a bike isn't a fashion statement. these hipsters they are part of some scene and "culture" (meanwhile it's not bike culture, since i'd love for more people to ride bikes instead of cars, and most other bikers would agree.) It's a judgmental, trendy, pompous bull**** popularity contest that somehow makes you HARDCORE for not having brakes on your bike.


did you know most bicycle riders die when they get hit by a car? So spider like reflexes and a ZEN CONNECTION to the bike won't stop you when a guy driving a truck doesn't see you, but of course wearing reflectors and riding with brakes is LAME.
