i still fail at that, i get 2 foot and just take my feet off, but spose im not realy trying hard, feal silly by my self in some carpark trying to learn the basics
yeah, i remember some 20 years ago all the kids from the next block took their brakes off and stopped foot in the rear tyre style - soles with big holes
U can use ur back tire to stand on n jump off ur bike quickly. Or stomp down on one peddle n put ur foot under the other peddle lock ur legs n do a quick 180 spin around to avoid the car. In some cases even with breaks sometimes it's too late n u still get hit by the car.
I find it safer because then ur always doubble checking everything, assuming that all cars want to hit u. You can also bunny hop up to the side walk n avoid the car that is about to hit you.
guess it depends where you live and why you ride the fixie
if i ride faster on the roads i NEED it or i will get it, but with a slower bike used in other places its all good being brakeless, but i just dont want to other riders getting hit becouse brakeless is cool
People that are fuck in the head will wanna hit u and hurt ur, it sucks but I don't care if a driver comes to play. I have no break and i am on that after they want to mess around. No breaks means all commitment. If ur a driver n u get piss and you own the road then take all of it, I don't care.
