And just in case I somehow got lumped into this category -- I do know how and when to use my rear brake, I just very rarely have occasion to need it in my daily commuting. Just a tap here and there on the front when I need to slow down. Hardly any hard corners at high speed or panic stops that need both brakes are to be found on my route.
Just had to speak up in case you noted my Mavic problem...
