I have seen a couple of different posts about stopping with front brakes vs. rear brakes or both. I am talking about the last ten feet after you have slowed down sufficiently and are getting ready to put your feet down. Just wondering what others are doing.[/align]

 

I use both brakes religiously all the time, but the last few feet of a casual stop I usually am just on the front brake at that point.

Both brakes, but use less pressure on front brake as the bike begins to come to a complete stop. Rear brake only for really slow speed stuff like parking.

Ditto, what Arizona said.

the last little bit of a normal stop? both feet reachin for the ground 2 fingers on the front brake....

 

I don't put my feet down when I'm stopped, I just do that cool thing with the front wheel to stay upright.

 

For the last few feet, I usually let go of the front brake and finish up just on the rear brake. I find it gives me a smoother stop and reduces the risk of wobbling and perhaps dropping the bike.
