The brakes were helping. I didn't want to apply too much braking because I didn't want the wheels to lock.
I am not sure what you mean by wheels were not tight. I tightened the front wheel quick release knob all the way and then engaged it. The LBS told me that if I start feeling resistance half way through engaging the quick release, then the knob is tight enough. I didn't touch the rear wheel.
