Its cool, but its not as cool as BMX.
Also you never get a rest because you can't free wheel down the hill, you'd have to take you feet off the pedals and look like a cock, or Pee Wee Herman.
oh i agree. Here's something for you. More proof that you don't need brakes to have amazing bike control:Originally Posted by Twister

Fair play, Chase doesn't even have the pedal back option, now that is quite simply, hardcore. His mate's got brakes though.
Yeah Mike Aitken's running brakes, but that footage is all about Chase - best 360's in the business.
I had to stop riding fixed 'cos the car drivers didn't quite get it.
Flip flop on the crosscheck now.
I have got a single speed fixie, it's my track bike...

Now I like a cycling challenge as much as the next girl but; riding on the public highway with a machine that has no breaks. Accidents/incidents can happen to anybody, would an insurance company pay out when you knew you could'nt stop in any conventioanl manner. Would'nt that be 'contributory negligence'?
