Some people claim that riding brakeless fixed gears is stupid, and puts you and other people that are unlucky enough to come across you in danger. While I will admit that there’s a lot of people that ARE riding brakeless that really SHOULDN’T be, there is a time and place for brakeless street riding. This is The Case for Brakeless Fixed Gears. It’s no secret. Brakeless riding doesn’t make a whole lot of logical sense, so why do people do it? Basically, it comes down to feeling which guides the way we act more often than we’d like to admit. Some people ride brakeless for the feeling of mastery and control. It’s confidence inspiring to know that you have complete control over your bike, and that you can ride something a bit riskier and do something most people can’t. Riding brakeless becomes more about managing your direction and keeping your outs open instead of managing your speed with a brake. It can give a smoother riding experience since it encourages you to flow to conserve energy, albeit even if you have to ride a bit more slowly, instead of pedaling up to a light. Stopping. Pedaling up to a light. Stopping. Brakeless has a lot of downsides, and it’s a wonder that people ever ride brakeless on the street in the first place. If you decide you want to give brakeless riding a go, here’s how to practice brakeless riding responsibly. Know that if you decide to go brakeless, it will take about twice the distance to stop compared to stopping with a front brake. No matter how experienced you are, you can’t change the laws of physics and stop as effectively as brakes. Know that you’ll have to ride much more cautiously, which means slower. My recommendation is if you even have to ask whether you should have a brake, keep your brake on your bike. There’s a lot of downsides to brakeless street riding, but there is a time and place for it, and it is possible to ride brakeless responsibly. #brakelessfixedgear #brakelessfixie #fixedgearriding
