Default if you wanted maximum braking, where would you sit?

(wle)


if you could position your center of gravity anywhere, to ensure
maximum braking power, where would it be?

Under "maximum braking" the front wheel stops dead, the bicycle flips, and the
rider is ejected. If you are talking about keeping both wheels on the ground
that is far less braking force than maximum.

Very hard braking is an athletic maneuver that requires a quick, exaggerated
body movement. There is no sitting whatsoever.
