I hope this was a fluke!
So yesterday my roomate gets home and tells me of his crappy day which included a citation for not having brakes on his bike. He said he comming to a light and skidded to a stop in plenty of time for the intersection and happended to come up next to a cop. The cop says hey does that thing have brakes? He replies with a quick "my cables are on their way." The cop eventually gives him a $90 ticket. I was wondering how many/often this has happened to you? Maybe this is a rare occurance or a new wave in my town? either way he's the first of the people I ride with to even get questioned. Oh and lets not turn this into the "put a brake on it" forum. I have no problem with people riding with or without brakes my choice is my own.
