I didn't feel a new thread would warrant this question so I'll ask here
How long or hard is it going to be learn to brake efficiently? My bike came without any brakes but I will be ordering a pair of front brakes before I start commuting, if there's any recommendations on some cheap brakes they're welcome.
Good to be here!
Learning to ride brakeless takes a bit of time and practice. I would suggest you get that front brake and have that installed while you learn. It's just nice to have when you need to stop but can't. I would not ride brakeless until you have spent many months riding with a brake and notice that it isn't being used.
