Ways to brake properly on your two-wheeler:
Two-wheelers have two brakes - the front is operated by the right hand, the rear by the right foot - and both are needed to stop effectively. Some important guidelines for braking safely and effectively on a two-wheeler are given below. Use both brakes each time you slow down or stop. If you use only the rear brake, you may never learn how to use the front brake properly when you need it. Squeeze the front brake and press down the rear brake smoothly, gradually increasing pressure as needed. Jerking the front brake or hitting the rear brake hard can cause the brakes to lock up, resulting in skids and control problems. Apply both brakes simultaneously. Many riders believe the rear brake should be applied first. On the contrary, the sooner you apply the front brake, the sooner you slow down.
