Because of that coaster brakes freak me out a little heh. Obv I've been doing a LOT more bicycle riding of late (for some reason), but my bike is multi. My friend let me take his (pedal only) bike out the other day and it was a coaster setup...

Wow, now that was weird o_O I'm sure I'd get used to it after a while, but I kept grabbin' ghost levers, not to mention lockin' up the wheel every time I backpedaled out of habit lol

But - it really does work well! I was quite surprised actually, I'd still want front brakes but that's easy 'nuff.

Still... I'm gonna keep my gears
won't the front brakes flip you over, or make you skid out? I took mine off so I could put the stock clutch lever in its place, and eliminate a cable.
