Because that isn't how people use brakes. I'm pretty sure most people use the rear brakes to slow down and as control, whereas the front brakes are for stopping

>I was always told you want to brake both the front and back at the same time
This isn't true at all. And even when one does use both brakes, pressure on each is not the same.
- eythian 6y agoReally? I don't know if I'm representative, but I pretty much only use the front brakes. I only use the rear ones if I'm trying to avoid an accident because I'm not slowing fast enough on the front. I don't even know if it helps much, it's just a reflex.
- hansvm 6y agoIf I don't have to stop in a hurry I default to using the rear brakes -- I can't screw that up in a way that'll send me over the handlebars.
