So I made a bike out of bits I found in the garage.

Front brakes aren't used in cycle speedway with a freewheel. It's a good job the speeds are low!

Having said that, the local brakeless BMXers are adept at stopping with a foot jammed between the rear tyre and seat tube.

There's nothing new under the sun, 60 years ago my friends and l built our own fix wheel bikes with "cow horns" and no rear brake . We jammed our foot onto the rear tyre up against the seat stays ( not the seat tube...that would really hurt). Timing was everything:wahhey:
