Always keep a safe stopping
distance between you and other
vehicles or objects. Adjust stopping
distances and braking forces to suit
riding conditions.
If your bike has two hand brakes,
apply both brakes
at the same time.
Over-use, or mis-
use, of a front-
wheel brake, such
as using only the
front-wheel brake
in an emergency,
could cause the
rear wheel to lift
from the ground
which could cause
you to lose control (Figure 10).
Bicycles are normally manufac-
tured with the left brake lever
controlling the front-wheel brake.
To change so that the right lever
controls the front-wheel brake, see
Chapter 3.
Many models of modern brakes
are very powerful; they are designed
to stop a bike in wet or muddy
conditions. If you feel your brakes
are too powerful for your riding
needs, take your bike to your dealer
for adjustment or replacement of the
braking system.

Shifting gears allows you to
choose the gear combination most
comfortable for riding conditions,
one that allows you to maintain a
constant rate of pedaling. Shifting
systems are of two types: derail-
leur (external) and internal.

The left-hand shifter controls
the front derailleur and the right-
hand shifter controls the rear
derailleur. Use only one shifter
at a time. Shift gears only when
the pedals and chain are moving
forward. When you shift, reduce
the force on the pedals to provide
quicker and smoother shifting,
to help avoid excessive chain
and gear wear, and to help avoid
bent chains, derailleurs, and
chainrings. Avoid shifting when
going over bumps; the chain may
not shift properly or may fall off.
With modern indexed shifting
systems, a movement of the shifter
from one position to the next (or
movement of the shifter to the
"shift" position) should promptly
move the chain from one gear to
the next. However, bikes equipped
STI road shifters and triple
chainrings may shift better, partic-
ularly when shifting from the
smallest chainring to the middle, if
you “hold” the lever for a moment
before letting go of the shifter.
