Its just easier on the knees and and you wont have to change your pants if the pickup truck in front of you (who hugs the curb so you cant pass him at red lights) slams on the brakes to pull into the burger king. And also, sometimes chains break, it is possible for them to fall off, then how ya gonna stop? It happened to me before, i dont remember how I stopped...
I dont want you to mess up that sweet looking bike, or for you to get messed up
Thanks dood. Yeah, with traffic around here it is ridiculous, the car people are unwilling to wait a second. Ha idk how id stop, these bmx kids I was talking to use their foot on the wheel in the back to stop. AWww, thanks for the concern ha I def dont want my first bike and anything collision to be bc of no brake..
