it is amazing how the law wants you to skid your tire to show you can stop. and then they want you to put a front hand brake on your bike so you can pull it real hard and... flip over your handle bars. good luck making a front brake skid, unless you can making your bike go backwards. which i guess only fixed gear bikes can do...

oh not it makes sense. everyone ride their bike backwards and use the front brake as a rear brake so you can skid the front tire.
