>> Typical of the modern fashion cyclist with little or no idea how to ride properly.
( Yes there are many cyclists who buy lots of fashion items but a lot of these items are very well designed and some clever materials used)
There was a long interview on R4 this morning with the widower.
I had not realised that it was a fashion for courier bike riders to have no front brake!!!
It was also pointed out that BMX bikes were also implicated.
A Google search for BMX bikes shows many without a front brake.
Some have the cable brake on the REAR wheel.
Since I was at school I have always understood that a front brake on all bikes was mandatory.
I had a so called track bike for many years and used it for commuting to work and time trialing.
I cannot believe that many BMX bikes are sold for use just on a BMX track.
Time for the laws to be updated.
