Some guys here fall more often on the road than most of us ever fall mountain biking.
Check out bluefoxicy, a new cyclist that read Sheldon's braking page and thinks he is a very experienced cyclist, so bluefoxicy decided to ONLY use the front brake and never touch the back brake unless the front cable broke. He kept crashing and still insisted that he knew how to brake better than the rest of us and that his post to other new cyclist was the best advice.
