so here we have a guy who almost got killed because his chain [for one reason or another] failed to stop him. thus far only one guy has suggested this dude puts on a secondary means of braking, and he gets STFU'd for being "condescending"? wtf?

to the OP: I'm sure you're capable of braking on your own without a front brake, but if something similar happens a few days/months/years down the road and you aren't so lucky, you've got only yourself to blame.

i'm not for outlawing brakeless bikes, mind you. this just seems like common sense after an incident like the one you described.
