Hey cyccommute -

got any references for those braking pie quotes? I only have Motorcycle Safety Foundation info, and it sounds remarkably similar. I was reluctant to offer it up because the speeds, mass, braking power, and tires of motorcycles are so different, I figured there could be significant differences.

But your assertion that someone stopping a bike 90/10 front rear is a shorter distance than someone who gets to 100/0 has drawn my attention. I know that 90/10 works real well for myself, because the handling of the bike is very predictable when you keep both wheels on the ground, and that makes me more likely to keep progressively squeezing harder and harder.
