Hmmm, the word always always scares me. I use both front and rear brakes to stop even though brakes are linked. As I stop, if I need to put down my right foot for some reason due to terrain, debris on road etc, its okay, I still have a front brake to hold the bike. Once settled, if I need to hold the bike, then I can apply the rear and release the front. Oh and when I went through our motor school, if you are the bike on the right when riding pairs, unit policy (for looks?), your right foot goes down. So good tip, I think a lot of people may do it without realizing, its just trying to balance the bike as you stop, but if you have it in your head that you always have to stop with left foot down and right on the brake (and no front brake) then you will roll back and fall over when you throw out your right foot when for some reason you tip that way. I think the more important thing is just to stop without falling over.
