I really really really like the concept of Brakeless bikes. I'm a ***** for bike aesthetics, and I would love to rid my bike of the front brake/cable/lever.

That said. I'll never ride brakeless except on the track. I can skid to a stop pretty quick, but there have been times where I would have ate car bumper without the front brake.

Front brakes slow you down quicker, and are more reliable. And in the city, where cars and people often make bad calls (myself included), it's necessary.

I know some people who ride brakeless, and they're cool, intelligent people, and I don't preach to them to put on a front brake, but personally, I think everyone should have one, for safety of yourself and others.
