15.4 Backpedalbrakes
If your FLYER is equipped with back pedal
brakes, brake by pushing the pedals backwards
insteadofforwards.Thismeansthatyourbicycle
will not freewheel and you are unable to rotate the
pedalsbackwardsfreelyasyouotherwisecan.
Back pedal brakes work best when both
cranksareinahorizontalposition.Ifone
crank is pointing up and the other one
down, less force can be applied and
brakingislesseffective.
The effectiveness of back pedal brakes
can deteriorate substantially on long
slopesiftheyareusedontheirown.
This type of braking system can become
very hot from continuous braking. Use

Wait until the back pedal brake has
cooled down and do not touch the brake
drum.
Ensure that the brake anchor plate is
correctly attached with the appropriate
