many times you say? I feel that locking a front wheel should happen between zero times and once before you learn to brake correctly. I have never locked the front wheel of my road bike because I value my teeth and I am aware of correct body mass adjustment techniques when emergency braking. just sayin . . .

I like how they're pretending like this is a new challenge when this really isn't that different than what tandems deal with. Maybe make drum brakes available for heavier people for downhills.

And guess what, I still have all my teeth! Must be doing something right. You must not be going fast enough to ever require hard enough braking to lock up your front wheel accidentally.

Can't wait to see what they come up with, my guess is some combination of an induction generator along with a drag chute

Your response has little to nothing to do with the thread, and is simply a jab at me. Congratulations for your useful contribution! I'm sorry that I like to careen down mountain bike trails and speeds much faster than I should be going. And yes, I often do accidently lock up my front wheel on stuff that's much more loose than I had expected. That happens when you mountain bike as much as I do.
