this whole thread overlooks that Berlin, and Germany in General, have pretty strict laws regarding street legality of Bikes. If you havent got brakes, reflectors, mud guards (front and back) and working lights, you will get stopped by cops.
it was only a matter of time with fixies in berlin

I think there is a law in my city that if you ride a fixed gear you have to wear a hat that makes you look like a twat and striped socks from the 80's

using your legs instead of hand brakes gives you better exercise, and its way more fun. technically your legs are your brakes. the argument "would you drive a car with no brakes" is irrelevant,

Why not just put a handbrake on it and not use it?

This is a stupid thread. Most people who ride fixed with no brakes have pretty good control over their back wheel or they wouldn't do so.
Don't forget that dickheads on road bikes or any other bikes for that matter can crash into cars too.

The back wheel is the brake.
