That way maybe we could start collecting some hard evidence to back up or dismiss the safety argument of front brakes.
One thing about brakes.
In NYC, we have to deal with not only SUVs but cabs. When you are going 35kmh-45kmh down one of the avenues and a cab passes you only to screech to a stop 10-15 ft right in front of you, you appreciate a front brake.
