Yup. I just put on a front brake in April
because of these guys----they freak me out and I've nearly been run over as a pedestrian on two occasions by guys running fixed but having no idea how to ride.
There are also
tons of SS bikes with only a front brake, which is suicidal to me.
I don't want to sound like an old man but these guys are really giving cyclists a bad name (or worse, depending on your point of view).
