Heh heh... Yup, that is the reputation, isn't it? Notice, however, the front disc on that old bike. Without it, I probably would have died a long time ago (like sometime in 1980). The rear brake is, you see purely decorative. Almost completely nonfunctional. Only there to meet a legal requirement. It's a mechanical drum, who's shoes are perhaps an inch and a half wide. Who on earth ever thought that thing would be useful on anything bigger and faster than a baby stroller was delusional, or optimistic, or something...
