they are all different. some bikes still have drum brakes in the rear. some only have single discs in the front. there are even a few people riding choppers with no front brake because it obscures the aesthetics by hiding the rim. my daily on the other hand will stop faster than you ever want to stop.
but the argument that you might skid or you might endover, IMO, is spurious. you shouldn't avoid braking because you might brake improperly, you should learn to brake properly.
