Really though, you don't want to lock up either wheel and using both evenly is part of a strategy to avoid that.

When you are going slow & maneuvering,be sure to use you rear brake ONLY.If you use your front brake in this situation you will dump the bike.Also using the rear brake lightly helps to stabilize & control the bike when moving slowly.
