If we want operators of cars and bikes to assume mutual responsibilities...we wouldn't want cars without brakes, would we?

I think that's a good idea because of the consequences from it, the society would weed out cars faster than you can blink.

If you can stop your car with your legs/feet like how Fred Flinstones did, I am all for it.

Most is way over-exagerating. My group of friends who most of them ride fixies and they all have front brakes. If you don't believe me, go and count all the fixies locked to bike racks and see if most of them don't have front brakes.

It's just too hard to live here without a car, I'd be ok if I didn't work but I need to find a job soon and jobs are spread all over the place here and the LB job market is pretty dead.
Spread the bike love down in SoCal because they surely need more cyclists.

I thought you like Oakland so much...why did you move to LB? Good luck!

Thanks man. I got tired of my dead-end job in SF and the constantly chilly weather there, so I said screw it and moved down here to chill out. Now I'm starting another dead-end job tomorrow and it's been chilly lately here too, go figure... Though I'm mainly focused on getting my license and then a car so I can get access to better jobs, so it's all good.
