srsly, what kind of idiot doesn't put a brake on their bike? ..If you only ride your bike to and from the velodrome, then yeah okay. . -what you have there is a 'track bike'.. But if you are riding brakeless in city traffic, then surely you are an idiot who deserves the fine. Who's going to be paying your freaking hospital bills - when you are stuck in a vegetative state because you were too cheap to buy a brake?? ..Yeah, and I bet you don't even wear a helmet. No brake, no helmet.. Somebody should really cut your balls off before you are able to raise more little ppl to think as you do.
