Hi
I think in Germany too, two break systems on the front wheel, even as independent as a coaster break and a rim break will suffice from the legal point of view.

I once had a cheap tire jump of rim off the front wheel and was rather happy to have a rear break :-).

I am not talking against a second set of breaks on the front wheel, but a break on the rear wheel has its merits too.

Hmm yes, but laws are there for the people, not the other way around, right? Since a rear brake on a python is rather useless and a double brake on the front makes much more sense (safety wise), I doubt whether you would ever run into problems. A python is just so different compared to a normal bike that there is no point to conform to that law, I think. For a python with a low CoG a seat belt is a better idea than a rear brake ;-p
