Probably riding a fixie. But to me, basic common sense would imply that riding a bicycle on the road or even in a bike lane without brakes isn't a wise idea. (But also, of all the bicyclist stereotypes, the fixie rider would be the 'worst').
- em-bee 3y agoriding a bicycle without brakes isn't a wise idea in some countries it's also illegal.
- bombcar 3y agoHeh the irony of someone riding an unroadworthy vehicle complaining about other unroadworthy vehicles.
- InSteady 3y agoFor myself and 99.99% of other bikers out there who do use brakes, these headlights are still a massive problem. There's no world in which being completely blinded while riding at speed in traffic isn't a safety issue. Especially on a bike where it's up to you to anticipate and avoid careless drivers who will put thousands of pounds of vehicle into your path without a care for your life on a regular basis. Also, if GP is indeed riding a fixed gear bike then they do have the ability to brake, it's just a different mechanism. Weird that they phrased it that way. Fixed gear bikes are more challenging to ride (kind of like a manual transmission vehicle) but are completely roadworthy in the hands of a competent rider.
