[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 164287, member: 3972"] I've only had to hit my brakes hard a couple few times...because I nearly ran a stop sign or light while taking in my surrounding sights. lol Certainly the most important part of braking is not putting yourself into a hard braking situation in the first place. I think the second most important thing is to condition yourself to use both front and rear brakes simultaneously and with the same amount of force. In a panic situation you want to use both to their full potential. Typically, I will hit one hard, then it takes a split second before I think about how hard I'm hitting the other. But if you use both, just right, you can stop really fast. I have one bike with a disc brake on the front, it IS a much better brake, and really smooth. In a panic situation I'd be a little worried about locking up the wheel. [/QUOTE]
