Can people please stop putting back brakes on fixed wheel bikes?

It's not cool, it's not clever, and it's not nescessary B)

Let people set up their bikes as they choose.

But here is a tip that is cool:

It may not be cool and may not be a legal necessity, but it's certainly necessary when your front brake cable snaps at 38mph on a long descent; trying to leg brake at 185rpm on a 12% descent is pretty much useless.

your front brake cable would only snap if it wants well kept or it needed replacing and you didnt do it. Using the same logic on what one would asume to be a poorly maintained bike what if the front wheel collapsed, or the bars broke in two?

I have two brakes on my Fixed, and still use the back more than the front, even with speed trimming with the legs...... just road bike riding teaches you that
