Cue 50 bros with stories about how their crash wouldn't have been prevented by a brake, so the fact that they were riding brakeless with chopped risers in vans without foot retention had nothing to do with it.
Yeah, I know. Crashing sucks for everybody and I truly hate to see anybody crash and get road rash,
or worse. I really do believe, though, that you can have a sweet-ass looking bike and still make it safe(er) than the "fixed gear" street look.
But then you can't do teh bar spinz.
