More common there than here. </p> <p>I was brought up to be snobby about them, but discovered their great advantage for little kids learning to ride - no need to try and co-ordinate hands and feet. they just brake automatically. definitely recommend them. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9780#post-105634 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 11:23:54 +0000 crowriver 105634@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's a cruiser bike, it'll have a coaster brake on the rear hub (pedal backwards to stop). Miami is flat as a pancake, so it's all you need. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9780#post-105633 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 11:20:03 +0000 Charterhall 105633@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I can't believe that such a litigious society as the US allows the sale of bikes without brakes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9780#post-105631 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 11:15:59 +0000 chdot 105631@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> Serena Williams (@serenawilliams)<br /> 23/03/2013 21:44<br /> When traffic is bad jump on a bike and go to work. #makeitwork <a href="http://mob.li/_r6FW2" rel="nofollow">http://mob.li/_r6FW2</a></p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://stat.mobli.com/media_stills/media_29563183.jpg"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8086/8584538683_7d64fb66c8.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9780#post-105630 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 11:12:33 +0000 Arellcat 105630@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was, like, actually reading that, and I was like, so what<em>ever</em>.</p> <p>It's 1.3ºC here just now and I ought to go out on my bike, but I can't decide where to go. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9780#post-105629 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 11:12:03 +0000 Charterhall 105629@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Another convert ?

"I'm like, 'OK, I'm not going to make my match'.<br /> "So I asked for a golf cart, and the hotel didn't have a golf cart. Then they were like, 'We have a motor bike'. I'm like, 'I don't do motor bikes'.</p> <p>"They said, 'We have a bicycle'.
