Recently I learned that a friend's husband was run over by a truck while skating in the LES and didn't make it. Without going into specifics on how it happened, dude left a family behind and it made me re-evaluate my bike riding habits in NYC, cementing my position in the whole brakes vs no brakes debate. Pulled the trigger on decent brakes/levers so i can post in the 40+ thread next year.

Yay Mondays.
