Something stuck to the back of your jacket with some witty letters on should do the trick :wink:

Why???
You wouldn't drive a car without brakes?
If by any chance a car ran into you, or you hit one, there would certainly be a reduction (or dismissal) of any claims by you for injuries, as it would be deemed 'Contributary Negligence'.
The other possibilty would be a prosecution for a unsafe/unroadworthy bicycle.
I've seen the results of a few BMXers/MTBers who've not had good brakes, someone has to explain to the parents why their child is severly injured/dead
Sorry to be a 'party-pooper', but it could be your life on the line
I used to ride home through Leeds city centre at 18:00 everynight & made sure my brakes were spot-on (too unsafe to do otherwise)

The Yorkies might know that one, it's the one that passes Chevin Forest Park (as shown on map)

Oh yes I know that one well, I remember trying to get UP it in a 2.5NA Diesel 90 and watching snails overtake me....
A friend of mine once had a Porch pull over to let him past on a push bike as the driver couldn't corner as fast as he could down the narrow lanes of Wales

I couldn't go up as fast, but on a good day, I could just about slip-stream a scooter up Leeds Road (the main one from Otley to Bramhope)
So that was a good pace :D
I know, I've had cars try to lose (or overtake) me on hills like; HolmeMoss, Sutton Bank, Norwood Edge :lol:
