Why I hope they get ridden? Or why one needs a front brake? I just think bikes are made to be ridden. And without a brake, it is often impossible to stop quickly enough in traffic. In fact, this is precisely why brakes are forbidden on the velodrome. Since fixed gear bikes cannot be stopped quickly without brakes, allowing one rider to have a brake on the velodrome would create the danger of him stopping suddenly and others piling into him.
