Ride your bike. Get fast, get strong. If you want to go faster (safely), get a bike with brakes or go to the track. Want to go balls-out, get a BMX or do some sort of MTBing.
true. and i've got brakes and don't see myself taking them off. but it's not for show -- i can stop way faster when i whip than when i skip or just regular skid. oh wait... i've got a brake. ok it's for show.
