Not till I'm comfortable riding fixed, then only the front brake.

Leave your brakes on so you don't die when the bike falls apart. You won't lose any fixie cred because you don't have any to start off with by riding a bike from Target. That is insane that they can sell bikes for that cheap.

I honestly don't even feel like I need the rear brake anymore and I've only been riding it for a few days since I got it. I'll keep it until I get more comfortable with big downhills though. The brakes are garbage anyway, they really don't even fit the bike. After having it adjusted at the LBS the pads don't even touch the rim 100%

They were on clearance, MSRP was like $120 or so. Still feels really solid for the price, however, I can see it lasting a good year easily stock.

You'll be happy you have brakes somewhere down the road, trust me.

This looks like some modern 50s machine:

I like the way Brooklyns look, but I don't think I would ever own one. Mostly because they look like a pain in the ass, and would end up expensive if something goes wrong haha.

I think BMWs are just for rich, wannabe bike snobs.
