No Rhenning, I can assure you, I'm no troll. Riding single speed is great! I love Raleigh's Rush Hour. However, riding without brakes is down right dangerous, foolish, and knot-headed!

PS.

This post is both that of a complaint, if you don't ride with brakes and an inquiry, if you have to pedal while going downhill. That just sounds weird! Can't even imagine going down a steep hill and having to pedal at top speed or RPS while descending.
