One or two times in a year X 38 years = 38 to 76 close calls. Do you think you can pull off that many close calls without buying it? I think you have just highlighted my statement about the number of riders still riding without brakes who started riding fixed when I did.
I wish you a lot of luck. You are probably going to need it.
