I’m not being cranky
gregf83. 70-80% of a bicycle’s braking force is generated by the front, leaving 20-30% for the rear. Emergency braking aside, which is far different than slowing to turn or slowing to stop in controlled situations, braking is best served using both brakes…understanding that the front provides the bulk of the stopping power while the back adds to it. The skill is in how the brakes are applied.
