Yeah true for people that have more ego than brains, at least until they break a fork, or a rib, or a collar bone. Then most people might actually learn something. I guess its a bad assumption to presume people have brains and use them.

I commuted with my track bike (brakeless) this morning. Its nice to let it out of the velodrome every once and a while. I ride it a lot different than my fixed commuter (front/rear brakes).
