do yourself a favor a run a brake, was riding brakeless yesterday and my cog slipped, into a busy intersection, luckily I weaved through several speeding cars and about clipped a bumper, but I was reminded why i have a brake on my everyday bike. plus my neck hurt from clamping up and jaw hurt from clench and I almost crapped my knickers.

for true inspriration here you go why to not ride brakeless, dont be like this guy,
