I can relate to that. I don't have brakes currently but I'm a sensible cyclist. I think also being a driver helps you with road awareness and skills etc.
I don't speed when I know I may need to stop suddenly, I slow down in plenty of time, give way, signal etc etc
But anyway, the bike is probably going on ebay this week to be replaced by something with freewheel and brakes, my knees are not up to riding fixed to work and uni every day.
So hopefully I will have a few less "oh shit" moments!
Didn't mean to be rude Chak, my apologies.
