How safe is it to brake in riding?

I often hear some riders say that the brakes are to be braked and the front wheel is dangerous, because the front wheel is dead or it slips, or people will plant a bender. In fact, this concept of the main brake is wrong. The purpose of braking is to use the friction between the wheels and the ground to slow down or even stop the car. In fact, the rear brake is used to slow down, and the front brake is used to brake. The brake of the front brake is larger than that of the rear wheel, and the rear brake mainly controls the running speed. In principle, the wheel with large friction on the ground is responsible for the main braking task. When braking, due to inertia, the center of gravity of the vehicle will move forward. The more rapid the brake, the more the center of gravity will be on the front wheel. As the weight of the distribution is reduced, the friction with the ground will also decrease, and the braking effect will deteriorate. If only the rear wheel, the car can not stop, only to continue to brake, and then locked the rear wheel, slipping, dangerous. So how to brake is the safest?

For disc brakes and V brakes commonly used in mountain bikes and folding bikes, the braking force on the design is greater than the friction between the tire and the ground. In other words, when the brake is fully applied, it will cause the tire to lock up. Therefore, when mountain bikes and folding bikes are braking, they should use front and rear brakes at the same time. The front brake has 6-7 floors and the rear brakes have 3-4 floors. At the same time, push forward hard and try to make your body center of gravity pressure on the rear wheel, so as to obtain the maximum braking effect, to maximize the avoid side-slip caused by tire lock.

When the road bike brakes, it is still necessary to use the brakes according to the ratio of the first 7 to the third, because the center of the road bike is more forward when riding, and the friction between the front wheels and the ground will be far greater than the inertia of the rear wheels. Due to the use of a short brake block, the friction brake of the road car is designed to have a frictional force slightly smaller than the friction between the tire and the ground. Therefore, the road car is less likely to cause the locking of the tire and the safety of high-speed braking. It is higher than the V-brake and disc brake, but the sudden braking effect at low speed is slightly worse.

The braking of a bicycle in a bend is very dangerous. The grip on the front wheels in the curve becomes very complicated, and accidental locking of the front or rear wheels will result in an immediate crash. Therefore, it is very prudent to use the brakes in the corners. The force is averaged before and after, and strong braking in the corners is completely avoided. Simply decelerate before entering the corner to eliminate danger.
