Following on from my previous thread, I've just ordered a new frame which comes with a nice set of drop bars, and when riding drops I find myself on the hoods for most of the time.
However, if I decide to go for a coaster brake set up, what might be my options if I only have one (front) hand activated brake on the bike? Obviously it'll be difficult riding on the hoods if I only have one hood!
I'd imagine a dummy brake would be a bit odd, or leverless hood would look a bit weird, but are there any other options out there?
Thinking about sticking with bullhorns would be an easy option, and I do find braking more comfortable on such bars rather than over hoods, but I would like the flexibility of drops.
