To me, using the brakes feels a lot more natural, especially when I'm spinning really fast. Others don't even have brakes, so they must like to use the pedals.
Just to be sure we're on the same page, this is the sort of position I'm talking about

If you have old/vintage brake levers, this might not be as comfortable as it would be with something newer like the Tektro R200A.
