Bikes: Zebrakenko (nishiki knock-off) fixed. Its all broke though. Now, some other old, unidentified japanese frame, freshly spray-painted black(kinda hot). Puch, ss...or is that fffda7th's?

Not enough posts on brakeless...

Yeah. I think I am riding sans brake tomorrow by default. I am going to take it slow.

I have read many posts on this, talked to folks, etc. But some questions I have include:

Would you ride harder if you had one?
How often do you actually skip/skid to stop, as opposed to for fun?


I don't know, fill me in if you get the gist. I'm not trying to spark debate, just looking for fresh insight. I've been riding fixed for a year or so, feel comfortable, but there is still a pause when I consider the lack of a fallback. I know this discussion is a bit tired here, so just chime in if so inclined.
