brakeless = illegal?

Vendor Directory

Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Now, the real question is whether the judge meant for a rider to put a stick to the tire or rim or just throw the stick in the wheel---that would get the bike to stop pretty past after all
