I was bike courier for about 10 years in Denver and Chicago, rode single speed mountain bikes, but always had brakes and never fixed… my knees are still good today👍.

Suggestions: Before you insert the stem, you should grease the quill along with the top tube interior. This would prevent seizing and excessive rusting. While your at it, check and grease the seat post as well. It’s a nice bike, take care of it and it’ll last a lifetime.

I drive a Dutch bike that I bought second-hand for €50 last Month and I really enjoy it. Its faster than i thought. Greetings from Munich, Germany.😅😅

I just started the same, it's so much fun. You get used to it after a couple of rides.

I used to put my foot in the back wheel to stop it when i had no brakes

No breaks no problem. Until you need them. Ride safe. 🧑‍🦽

Thanks for teaching me how to whack my quill.

Great vid man! I have been wanting to get rid of the brakes on mine as well however the steep hills in my area are hindering me lol

I like drops in theory, but I'm using small bullhorns for urban riding to get aero occasionally,. Swept back handlebars get you more view angles, so its safer for city riding, especially if you're riding with a single brake or brakeless. Most bullhorns are still angled above drops, so you're less likely to end up with numb or sore hands and if you were experiencing back pain with drops, that will likely decrease, too.

great video, loved the vibe

I use the hand position at 6:28 on most long straights. Maybe a smashed stem would make it more comfortable? Enjoyed the video! :)

Sweet man! I love this content. I subbed my friend

no other feeling like a brakless track bike

Sweet vid! I bike brakeless as well I go to O connor

“I wasn’t expecting that guy to stop” That guy clearly understands the laws of physics when comparing a 2 wheeled meat bag to the rear bogies of an 18 wheeler 😉 They also use a lot more real estate in a turn than a bus., and change directions more drastically than a bus. An 18 wheeler can flatten you, not see you, drive a thousand miles, drop his cargo and live the rest of his life care free never knowing the he squashed someone. On the bright side, I really did enjoy this video 👍😎

You can get plastic empty toothpaste tubes and fill them with peanut butter and mashed up banana , life hack

No straps?!

"I cut the brakes on my bike. A man like me never really learned how to stop."

brakeless riding through the Danforth?!?! 🥵💯🔥

Lol the dustin klein font

BOTH of my brakes went out today at THE SAME TIME on my e-bike and I still had about 8 miles left in my commute. It was a harrowing experience. I don't understand how anyone would willingly go out on a bike without brakes. Any bike. I had to keep my speeds under 10 mph the whole way and my shoes are also now ate the fuck up from the pavement lol

hey, whats your gopro mount?

why people taking off their brakes? can someone explain?

Ok but Why?

I enjoyed the video, but why breakless? You almost had an accident that's what there there for. Isn't that like cutting off your foot or leg? You kind of need your legs. But your like no ill just crawl. No you kinda do need your legs. Unless breakless is cool following the NYC crowd. I can't see what's cool about no breaks, or fixed gear, I guess they get those bikes in NY because it's completely flat there you don't need gears. I ride a road bike im from Australia
