Do you ride brakeless?

i would if i didn't live in appalachia

No. I have too much to live for.

Are you really so weak willed that you need a pole to bolster your decision to ride brakeless?

brakeless is the way to go.

Why is there no pie option in that poll?

Of course, you do not need brakes riding fixed.

i can't afford brakes..

my bike came with brakes, I kept em on. I don't use them ever though.

I was stopped by the scene police while riding with brakes on my fixie. They threatened to strip my cog while I slept. Ever since then, I've gone brakeless...

You don't need brakes when not riding fixed either. Dolt.

i lold

when i first rode fixed like 5 years ago i did for like a week.

Are you really so weak minded that you assume that I started this poll for a reason other than collecting statistics out of sheer curiosity?

wtf

Not one misspelling of "brake" in this thread!


and no

break

I ride with brakes. They're the best.

i just use curbs, parked cars, and evangelical christians to come to a stop. No brakes.

There are no conceivable situations in which I would need to use a brake.

lol

i ride with a front... just incase i win the door prize... it's the same theory as having a "hard hat"... i'd rather have one and not need it, then need it and not have one

i run a front brake because i can

there is a never ending argument with this question. it all comes down to track bikes are not meant for the street. therefore no need for brakes, because they are meant for velodrome use. the point of having a fixed gear is for simplicity. i used a front brake for the first week, learning how to go down hills, and go fast. now i dont use brakes, and i go faster than my friends on road bikes.

but really, its just a choice that only should matter to yourself. who cares if you have a brake or not. its your bike.

I have a valuable face so, no, I ride with brakes 90% of the time.

what is it about this forum that makes everyone so conflict driven?
the point of this thread wasn't for the sake of argument...
it's just to document what percentage rides brakeless or not...
