This is nothing new to the more advanced cyclist but for a newbie like me it was.... I was reading this website
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/brakturn.html and it says I should use my front brake 95% of the time. Man that scares me, being new to cycling and clipless pedals, the idea of braking with my front brake terrifies me. If I have to stop at once I am sure I will tip over because of my pedals, then again tipping over is far better than hitting something in front of you.
Still, front braking scares me.
