Maybe I'm just cynical.
Well in DC it is the LAW now that you can ride a fixed wheel without handbrake.
So legislatetors DID change it for the better.
The fixed wheel brake is same deal as a coaster brake and nobody cries about that either.
It is not really a big deal to ride without handbrakes. The sooner this is realized the sooner we can get over it.
