clip-on brakes - real or imaginary?

vermooten

Hi,

I've just bought a track bike and would like to use it some time on the road. It has no brakes, obviously, and a club mate told me that there are such things as clip-on front brakes.

is this true? If so, where can I get such a wonderful thing?

Thanks,
Andy
