Are you really that stupid, or are you being purposefully obtuse?


Try this. Walk along side your bike and slam on the front brake. The rear end of the bike will rise up. Do the same thing but clamp down on the rear brake. The rear tire will skid. The rear tire did not skid because any weight was removed from it but because the friction was overcome.
Are you trying to educate me? That's so adorable.
