20 General information
The bicycle is fitted with at least two brakes that act on the front wheel (front wheel brake)
and rear wheel (rear wheel brake) independently of one another.
You can use the brakes to slow down or stop the bicycle. Each of the brakes slows down the
corresponding wheel, which in turn decelerates the entire bicycle.
The brakes for each wheel are operated using the corresponding brake lever, mounted on
the handlebar.
