I got my BD fixie about a month ago and i"m having fun w/ it.

I'm riding it fixed now w/ a front brake, but I'm thinking about adding a freewheel. The main reason is so that I can loan it out to friends who are scared off by the fixed action.

I don't really want to run a rear brake though. Is a front brake only w/ a freewheel going to be that dangerous? I mean, how often have you snapped a brake cable?
