Its been raining, you're going round a bend and need to slow down. Do you:
a) Apply your rear brake and gently scrub off speed, or
b) Apply your front brake, causing the wheel to lock up and instantly slip wide landing your face on the tarmac.
Not running a back brake on a freewheel bike is retarded.
