Yogi's Seventy8

yeah!!!  AND, every kids wants to be you… when THEY should be using brakes. Novices are so cool without brakes (please note sarcasm) …  watch them fall.

I don’t DISS break-less , I advise learners to fixed to use a brake.

I use brakes on my street fixie but I have more than 80 inches per stroke. It is possible but very hard to pull up quickly.

Running brake-less is great with smaller gears if you ‘can’ in the first place (chuck a few more bar spins while you are at it), but those with long gears  and new to fixed… well THAT is just asking for trouble … I have seen a few crashes EXACTLY about that. 

Running brakes on your fixie is fine if you want to. Also a legal requirement in some places. Novice riders should not be forced into brakless for the sake of a trend. But, that is a sheep for you.

Running brake-less on the track is the only real place for it. Running an event with BRAKELESS ONLY on the road in uncolntrolled conditions is BEGGING for a lawsuit when someone falls.

I hope this event is on THE TRACK. 

As for men and boys… mehh, your peer pressure means nothing to me.

AND.
I take my brakes off at the track. 

great flyer.
