Braking Method

Back Up Next

Charlie 12/08/97
I realize a motorbike is far different from a bike, but at low speeds they do have similarities. when stopping a bike compleatly, use both brakes accordingly until you hit around 3 or so miles per hour, at which time to realice the front brake and only use the back brake. as provent riding your kid's bike, if you stop w/ the front brake you get a nice little jerk when you hit a dead stop, which could cause you to lose control of the bike, especially if its a motorbike and you got over 400lbs to control. using the back brake only gives a much smoother, easier stop and not as much of a jerk back when a full stop is reached.

hope this helps anyone out there
