comment What is the braking (stopping) distance for bicycles?
@THEMike: By rider skills I didn't just mean about how we apply force on the brake levers but also body movement. A rearward body movement together with applying compression (downwards force) on the pedals will make you stop way sooner.

comment Is this an abnormal rate of spoke breakage?
"then they should have noticed and fixed it while they were repairing the broken spokes". Assuming they know what they are doing.

Your 4 bullet points are good but you need to add two more: 5) terrain 6) rider skills

comment Is there such thing as a freewheel that doesn't click?
Correct. Coaster brake hubs and freecoaster hubs do not click.

Taking off the chain is not a solution because the bicycle will be unusable then. Using a coaster or freecoaster is. Most probably not a good one for that specific use, but it is a solution whether you like it or not.

@DanielRHicks: You obviously assume that I ride a city bike to commute to work. Your statement would then be valid.
