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.

bikes without brakes is just pure idiocy.
good riddance!

The back wheel is the brake.

just like everything else, a handful of idiots fucks it up for everyone else. why don't they just make stupidity illegal?

hmmm...yeah they do love to make rules , everything on its place. maybe they will make a special kind of fixie velodrome / park....

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,

skateboarding on the streets is also illegal , the side walk is for pedestrians to walk, the bike lane is for bicicles, the street is for cars...
huh... no place for skateboards , ban them from the streets and build them parks where they can go .. that's how it operates.....- pretty much. They do have some nice skateparks thereflashbender
- yeah nice skatepark but you may get fined by the police if they catch you on the street just riding on your boardbekannt

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
