Even if you like coaster brakes it's better to also have a front brake for the reasons described in the article as well as generally having redundancy and being able to brake if your feet slip off the pedals in wet conditions.
- codeptualize 4y agoFor sports you indeed probably want the better breaking power and redundancy, but for everyday city use your hand brakes are way more likely to break than the pedal one, they can go years without maintenance as they are not exposed to the conditions. Speeds are also generally not that high so even if you screw up (which rarely happens, even in icy conditions), you can recover just fine.
