Sacramento fixed-gear bikes: braking the law
Sacramento police recently began targeting illegal fixed-gear bikes.
But are the brake-free rides really dangerous, or are cops simply
going after a counterculture scene?[...]


"Counterculture" is really just another strict conformist group. There
is no reason not to have a front brake [1] other than wanting to look
"hip". I find the whining of these over-grown brats about being ticketed
to be amusing.

[1] The amount of money spent on these bicycles indicates that poverty
is not an excuse.
