brakeless + freewheel

Went for a late ride the other night. Got a flat on the tubular on Milwaukee and Division. No problem, I'll just pull over, get the spare tire out of the bag...it's not there. Luckily I remembered I had a wheel stashed at my friends place near Chicago Ave. Get there, get the wheel and...it's only got the freewheel on it. By now it's midnight, and I can't think of anything else to do, so I make the ~ 3 mile journey home totally brakeless. Between flintstone foot-downs and foot on the back-wheel BMX style stops, it wasn't too bad. Just like the Redline I had when I was a kid. Man, I need a clincher wheelset.
