In response to the following comments made by the traffic court judge in the Ayla Holland/fixed-gear trial,

“If your client had a stick she could rub against her tire, you’d have a case.”

many local messengers are now equipped with stick-brakes.

They are also holding a stick-braking competition.

The event flyer (below) says the event is being organized by a group called the Horizontal Dropouts and it will include a stick-stop competition, stick-stands, and backwards sticking.
