Yeah, I was riding today and some asswipe on a ss stopped short in front of me, so I skidded but I still couldn't stop in time to avoid hitting him. (I was a little banged up, but it's cool cuz my bike is fine.) I think we'd be a lot better off without brakes -- there's a reason brakes ain't allowed on the track. And I do ride a track bike, after all.

Plus, lotsa people out there die from heart attacks every day, and even with brakes on their bikes, these people will still die. Think about it. Seriously.
