In my experience.... you just lock up the pedals with your legs or if you dont feel good with that then you put on a small hand brake and hope it'll save your ass.
LOL

What kind of car is that?

you are suppose to fight the pedals to slow down or if you have cages you lock the pedals with your legs and you can skid to a stop with practice
I am not sure the weight yet but i can check tomorrow

the plus of it is that you get 4 pedals in and your up to top speed if you want to be :) not to mention the workout of going AND stopping

I used to love doing the backwards pedal-lock the back wheel-skidding to a stop thing on my bike when I was a kid... I'd come tearing ass up to where ever I was going and actually leaving skid marks on the road. I had red tires and left red skid marks at one point...

Sweet, is that 'Bianchi green?'
My fat ass needs gears, plus I am one of those slow, fat-tired, MTB types. Riding around cars scares me too much! Cheers! M2 |

Well done! Like the colors! I prefer MTB myself, feels more solid. I have yet to ride my MTB since I moved, hills are to steep plus too many careless $@$#@# driving around here :/
