And by the way, I am not a "brake advocate" and I do not teach "safety school", but I do enjoy pedaling.
oh, i don't mind having a pointless discussion that isn't going to change any minds. debating, for the sake of it, is what i do when i'm at work and have nothing better to do. i was mainly just commenting in a way that wasn't really tailored toward a discussion of the physics of braking, which talked around a lot of the later posts.
anyhow, keep enjoying it (the pedaling, that is).
