When my front brake caliper seized up recently (no idea why, maybe getting caught in the rain the day before?) I gave brakeless a try for a couple days, first just for around-the-hood errands, then eventually for my Queens to midtown commute. I kinda like it. Hate to say it, but there definitely is something to (again this phrase kinda irritates me) "that Zen feeling" that people keep going on about.
Still gonna get a new caliper and keep a front brake on eventually, but now I know that i can at least hold my own with the cool kids. Bring on the sqrls!
