Front brake here.
For the experienced fixer, brakeless is probably OK if you are not riding very far or very fast. I've done it, and its a fun challenge. Brakeless in moderation is probably good for your knees. However, on an extended road ride, you will eventually let your guard down and your knees will start to suffer..thats when brakeless becomes dangerous and unhealthy...IMHO.
