    Well technically your legs are your breaks. I couldn’t do it but then I live in an area with no flat spots.

    when you learn to break with your legs (locking the rear wheel out, as it were) handbrakes begin to seem superfluous.another thing, bike messengers never go through the front doors of corporate buildings. you have to go through the loading dock entrance at the rear and wait to get buzzed in, which may take a while if the personnel working there (and getting paid almost as badly as the messengers themselves) have taken an impromptu break, all for about three dollars pay per package.
