My mate has been riding around York on a brakeless freewheel. Complete lunacy if you ask me.

There are a few hipsters who are more about the look of the bike rather than it's practicality.

What IS that look? My Little Pony perhaps?

Another cyclist hating cyclist. Why does anyone 'deserve' to suffer a violent incident?

Why does it have to be violent? If they are under the impressions that brakes are for 'losers' then they get what they deserve for being immature and irresponsible. If your more interested in how you and you bike look rather than actually following the laws of the road and caring for your own life then you deserve the accident coming your way... you knew the risks, yet you still thought that brakes were for losers... well.. the darwin awards will be proud to accept you as a potential candidate for a prize.

Dont accuse me of hating, im not the idiot with no brakes.

Here for rides.
a collision at speed between the back of a minibus and any cyclist, even the most tragically hip of the tragic hipsters, the brakeless fixed rider, is inherently violent. I fink it is fiziks or sumfink?

Not from where I'm sitting. If you do something down right reckless & stupid for the sake of 'styling' then you deserve to meet the consequences of those actions. Riding into the back of a bus because you didn't put brakes on your bike is going to teach you more of a lesson than getting a minor fine from the police.

To be fair and put some distance between me and the bus hitting brigrade I only have a mild dislike/distain for hipsters and don't want them to cycle into the back of anything, except perhaps a decent clothes shop where they explain the importance of looser fitting jeans and belts^_^

Its not as if I have said, I wish they would hit the back of a bus and spray their brains all over the pavement, my post is just stating that if they hit the back of a bus they are the ones to blame and its a direct and deserved consequence of their actions, its karma, maybe it will knock some sense into them at the same time. Do I want the to hit the back of a bus to teach them a lesson... No, I have hit the back of a mini bus and I couldnt shake my headache for days. So quit acting like im some sort of sadist.

Also what happens when an innocent driver kills one of them because they are not using brakes?? Drivers car is damaged, and driver is mentally affected due to their idiocy.

I dont want them to cycle into the back of anything. I do have a distain for hipsters, i think they need to grow up. Do I hate them as someone put in a previous post. No I dont, I hate rapists and murderers, war criminals and cauliflower.. but not a group of people who dont put brakes on their bikes.
