It looks like you're just grabbing your butt when you want to slow down

i don't get the whole "muckybrake" thing. i had the exact same brake setup on a bike over a year ago simply because i didn't have enough brake cable reach any further. to me, it just seems like another clever place to stick a brake, nothing wildly out of the ordinary. (not to rain on your parade.) perhaps im just taking things too seriously.

wait, using a brake on a rear wheel will stop it from rotating?

So...the rear wheel locked up, but the bike didn't slow down. Maybe because of weight transfer, or maybe because the surface looks like marble tile at the mall, but it looks damn ineffective. I think you could scrubb off more speed by ramming pedestrians, or t-boning the side of that truck that just pulled out in front of you....you know, the one you couldn't swerve around becuse one hand was off of the bars and grabbing that asinine brake lever.

You don't get it, it's called an "ass-in-line" brake lever.

Sigh. It's so you don't get a ticket for not having a brake/brakes.

While people are fighting against police brutality and racial profiling, there are suburban kids buying brake pads and levers to put on their seatpost to dodge a law that would make them and other motorists safer.

Nice.
