Of course I wear a helmet, its company police.

I also have a front brake, and it has saved me a couple of times, like last week, where I had to make an emergency brake, and my clamp slipped out of my spd(try braking hard with one foot). If it wasnt for my brake i would have gone down bad.

Most of the time, its just a bad habit reaching for the brake.
It has been taking me a couple of months to be able to make it through the day without touching the brake.

Chains braking?
Not on my watch!
Ive heard more stories about peoples spds slipping out- Eggbeaters should be more reliable
Comments on that one???
