Mostly I ride a commuter bike short distances as an environmentally friendly, cheap and healthy mode of transport.

Occasionally I ride off road on a hard-tail mountain bike.

I'm really not convinced, but my Physics is a bit rusty so I'll need to have a think about it.

In the UK (where we drive on the left), "Do not ride on the inside of vehicles signalling or slowing down to turn left." - direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_069837

 comment Do skilled cyclists really “use the front brake alone probably 95% of the time”?
If you apply the rear brake the rear wheel will skid just before it leaves it the ground, warning you that you're about to go over the handlebars.
