Folks accustomed to riding cruisers, especially those with large bellies or those who own bikes with forward controls, often have a difficult time accepting the idea of sitting slightly leaned forward with their feet below them and their forearms parallel with the bike. They tend to be the same riders who only know their rear brake, not their front, and resort to "layin' her down" as an evasive maneuver. I agree with a previous poster who mentioned that forward controls lead to reduced rider control.
