Braking
Braking Drill To Improve Modulation
Many people fear the power of the front brake on their bike. In reality the front brake is responsible for about 70% of our stopping power. I often say that even though it accounts for 70% of the power, we only need to squeeze it about 30% as hard as the rear brake, since the front wheel is in front of us.
