My commuter bike only has a front brake. You can shift body position to make it pretty much impossible to go OTB. Meanwhile my DJ bike only has a rear brake, which at best "strongly suggests" you slow down.
- gnicholas 4y agoWhy would a commuter bike (or any bike) have only a front brake?
- eimrine 4y agoHaving only front brake is almost common for fixed gear bikes because they can break rear by retention and fixie counts as a commuter bike. Also it might be a decent config for learning some BMX tricks because if you want to be able to do a barspin you can not have both brakes. And if you have a bicycle with a coaster hub and a front brake and your chain is off than you are effectively having only front brakes.
- alephxyz 4y agoIronically the law pretty much everywhere in north America mandates that bikes have at least a rear brake.
