Figure 55: Front (2) and rear (1) brake lever – example: Shimano brake
 Pull the left brake lever for the front wheel brake and 
the right lever for the rear wheel brake until the 
desired speed is reached.
7.9.2 Using the back-pedal brake
Alternative
The best braking effect is achieved if the pedals are in 
the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position when braking. To 
bridge the free travel between the riding movement 
and the braking movement, it is recommendable to 
pedal a little beyond the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock 
position before you pedal in the opposite direction to 
the direction of travel and start braking.
 Pedal in the opposite direction to the direction of 
travel until the desired speed has been reached.
