Also, in the courses, they say to always (except in a very slow speed turn) use both brakes, and that's mainly to avoid the bad habit that people get in of just relying on one brake or the other. That can work in many situations, but when you have to stop *now* you'll want to have that reflex of using both of the brakes because the bike *will* stop quicker that way.

(even though, as stated before, 75-100% of the braking can end up on the front wheel due to the weight of the bike shifting forward during deceleration)
