March 14, 2008, Newsletter Issue #108: Stopping the Bike

Tip of the Week

A common myth about bikes is that using the front brake will make you flip over the handlebars. This is not true; in fact, the front brake is far more important to use than the rear because it can stop you faster and more safely. If you've never used the front brake before, test it out on a flat, quiet section of road and get a feel for how it works at progressively faster speeds. The next time you have to stop suddenly, you'll be shocked how much faster and more safely you can slow down.
