Europe is full of city bikes with coaster brakes. Everybody here has a bike, not just the hard-core bikers.

I've rarely seen coaster brakes, especially among the non hard-core bikers here in Paris.

I don't know if all 20,000 people are hard-core. Its just that road bikes are very, very common. Kids bikes might have coaster breaks, sure. But hardly anybody over 15 has one.
