I agree, I run a front on my fixed and my geared bike has a rear, which I never use as it's generally jammed with shite. I've never gone over the handlebars except a head-on with a car. I used to ride sports motorbikes and never used the rear brake on those either. The only point I can see of a rear brake on a SS is if your front fails.
