i had heard before that for effective Muni you need to learn to use your back foot but i recently properly understood it. i bought a brake a while ago because i had the money. i loved using it but it broke. the replacement piece is taking awhile to affordably show up. but because of that mishap i have learned to use my back foot!!!! now, some of the things that i used to ride with the brake i have learned to ride without it and i ride them better!!!!
basically i am just adding an anectdote to an old lesson.
I wish I had the money for a brake... so I could apply it to a new uni 🙂 Maybe I'll get one in a few more years when my knees are shot to hell, but at this point I don't want a brake... I want a moped engine to go up the hills 😄

Never kick a unicyclist in the groin... it will only make them grow stronger...
As I posted I was reminded of my dad's moped, a model named "Solex". The difference betwixt this and other mopeds is that this is basicly a bike frame with a small engine mounted over the front tire. The engine has a small roller that presses against the tire and thus turns the wheel... Heavy mofo tho.
