When you decelerate rapidly, all the weight, and therefore all the braking power, goes into the front wheel.<br /><br />This is an old post, and I'm happy to say that I see fewer brakeless fixies out there nowadays. But I would love to hear BSNYC comment on the new trend I see of hipsters coming down the Brooklyn Bridge with their feet up on their toptubes. WTF?

I was leading the group and would call out if there is any bumps, potholes or whatever. Anyway, as I was biking straight, I noticed two kids (about the age of 6 or 7) running out of nowhere, hidden by the parked cars heading straight to my front tire and it was way too late to turn and to skid stop... luckily my front brake or e-brake allowed me to stop on a dime and gave me enough time to just swipe one of the kids throat with my bullhorns. If I didn't have the front brake, then I probably would have been waiting at the ER hoping the kid survived or standing there looking at a dead body.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-29663609726018135712008-05-18T00:17:00.000-04:002008-05-18T00:17:00.000-04:00>>> If he hadn't hit the rear brake to slow down a...>>> If he hadn't hit the rear brake to slow down and avoid that crash, the guy behind him would never have hit him.

If your bike actually fits you and your position is decent, the most you should have to do to control it is shift your weight back a little bit in the saddle.
