By back-pedaling.
Think coordination instead of strength.
It took me four years of thinking about it and practicing it, with a front brake, before I could do it.
When my rear tire skids or skips, I see that as a loss of traction and a longer stopping distance.

Yes, and I generally don't look at my own face when doing
ANYTHING.
That said, I go ahead and trim my beard and hair anyway.
And I
DO sometimes look at my bike; in fact, I look at all my bikes.
