The biggest meme in all of fixed gear cycledom: "Brakes are death. Can't stop, don't want to either." Even if brakes take away a little from the fixed gear riding experience, I've always been a firm believer that they have their time and place on fixed gear bikes, and I occasionally throw a front brake on my own bike whenever riding mountains are on the agenda. That is, until this fateful day on my fixed gear bike tour. Brakes legitimately made this ride way more difficult than it had to be, and part of me wishes I could swallow my fear and take them off my bike to make riding easier.
