I'm considering switching from the wacky cruiser bars I have on my bike to drops...

Still hemming-and-hawing on whether to slap a front brake on it and change the "gearing."
BTW, I'm trying to get something going (along the lines of the word quiz) where a front brake
installed on a fixed gear simply for safety's sake is referred to as a "Barry Brake."

Barry is a lawschool classmate who would be very happy if I put a front brake on the bike. Barry also
doesn't ride home after dark, which is going a little far, but I have to admit the brake thing is fairly reasonable.
