I don't generally agree with laws that take place of common sense but I am happy that the police where I live are impounding bicycles without brakes but usually after the rider has done something stupid and illegal

good, fixies are horrible to have in cities.

I have a brake on my bike because I realized after years of riding brakeless just how many people I knew who were getting knee surgery
that and I am pushing a high gear and ride off road at times

A 'fixed-gear bike'. A track bike is a track bike.
I also sometimes abbreviate it to just 'fixed', like 'I'm riding the fixed to the bar tonight'. Never 'fixie'.

Try times square.
Sometimes I ride like I have a brake.
Sometimes I have a brake.
Sometimes I ride like I dont have a brake.
Sometimes I dont have a brake.
I dont care if you have a brake.
