Wait a second, so hipsters now think it's cool to ride fixies without brakes. What do they do, ride extremely slow and just hope that they have enough time to stop?
What a bunch of fucking retards. Same type of people that believe helmets are useless and make stupid ass arguments such as
>>270325Oh wow, so someone got killed while wearing a helmet, suddenly it's useless, right? Fucking idiot.
Let me get this straight, you buy a fixie with a light frame, for no apparent reason as it has no advantages compared to a geared bike, and then remove the brakes... again for no reason. Considering you can't go fast on a fixie, removing the brakes makes no sense if your argument is that it lightens the frame or make your bike go faster.
Why not buy a real bike? I mean fixies are road bikes after all, road bikes that can't do anything a regular road bike does right. Just a useless, outdated piece of crap that hipsters continue to ride for no fucking reason other than being "ironic."
Please continue to ride these death traps. The more risks you take, the better the chance that you will be a victim to natural selection.
tl;dr - everyone is laughing at you when they see you riding this type of "bike."
