47 knucklehead chopper

My buddy recently acquired a kucklehead chopper with a jockey shifter and no front brakes. We live in a city with hills so its been quite interesting trying to start and stop at steep inclines. Any advice?

1- Don't stop on hills

2- Pull up behind your buddy on your bike, put your front wheel to his rear wheel and hold him until he pulls away
