Operating the brakes

Brakes are there to control speed and not just to stop the bike. The maximum braking
force of the wheels is available just before the wheels 'lock' (come to a standstill) and
then slip. As soon as the tyre slips, you lose most of the braking power and all control of
the bike. You need to practise braking and stopping gently and without locking the
wheels. This technique is called progressive brake modulation.
Your bike is equipped with front and rear brakes. The function of the left brake lever is
the front wheel brake and that of the right brake lever is the rear wheel brake.
Pull the brake lever towards the handlebars and gradually increase the braking force.
If you feel that the wheel is locking, reduce the braking force so that the wheel can just
continue to turn and does not lock.
