What?!?
Sorry but thats total bollocks. I know some people like to rely on a skid as their only means of stopping, but there is no reason why you really ever have to - unless thats the style of riding you wish to adopt.
I agree that retaining your feet to the pedals is particularly important when they are going to be constantly in motion. Some people don't, but you really don't want your feet flying or slipping off the pedals when they're zipping round.
