@kerley
you keep saying this but we all know that you do need to skid. Not all the time agreed, but if you want to ride at normal pace you will need to skid a few times on each ride as leg braking from 20 mph is just not effective enough and you would spend as much time gradually slowing down for lights, junctions, corners etc,. as you would cruising along.
Unless by riding brakeless you mean riding at under 10 mph :-)
