| Mar 6, 2014 at 1:01 | comment | added | Scott Hillson | Yes, there are worse things than having only one brake, but not having two is unsafe for the same reason not wearing a helmet is unsafe. You might never hit your head, but then again, you might. Also, I've had a properly maintained brake fail on me once in adverse conditions; maintaining your equipment doesn't guarantee it can't possibly fail. | |

How often does a properly-maintained brake fail (save for forgetting to reinstall the bridle or whatever after installing a wheel)? | |

reworded that bit about manufacturers making single brake bikes

| Mar 5, 2014 at 22:02 | comment | added | Scott Hillson | Yeah, and I forgot about Sole too. Now I remember almost buying a Sole but I hesitated because I wasn't sure if I could add a rear brake, and I wanted to be able to let my wife use it but not without a rear brake. Maybe I should word it 'manufacturers that make bikes with only one brake are asking for a law suit.' | |
