There are guys who rock brakeless, nuff said. IMO brakeless on the street should be against the law if it's not. You are a danger to the rest of the world weather you agree or not. If you get run over and killed by some mother because you screwed up, you just destroyed her mind because you were too cool to run brakes. Same as any place that is visited by kids that don't always know how to stay out of the way.
it's illegal to ride with any less than 2 brakes.
one front, one rear. both activated by separate controls.
that is the minimum required by law.


... I personally want dual discs up front on my FR rig like on motorcycles.Drool
law requires you to have to have one breaking system that can skid on flat dry concrete, and i can do that with my foot in my tire
plus i can just put 24" wheels on it and no more laws cause it becomes a toy and not a veichal
if your gonna bring up laws..how bout reflectors and lights??

(8 ) A cycle operated on a highway must be equipped with a brake that will enable the person operating the cycle to make the braked wheels skid on dry, level and clean pavement.

Please don't post just to bitch about how much better you are because you use brakes. No one gives a shit.

I think we can call this thread over. The OP has his answer and everything else is starting to go off topic.
