Okay well I suppose I'd better come clean. I can brake fine for everyday riding, but I find the brake position very uncomfortable and would much rather use a thumb. And it would help with learning wheelies.
But twas not all a lie. I can still be a bit heffer-ish with my feet in a panic situation. As I found out today going down the Alton road. Slammed it as I saw a parked car that I thought was moving. Dumb I know, but I'm still learning.
I just think I'd have more control if I used my hands rather than my feet.
Thanks for the replies. Keep them coming.
