A better braking technique ?

[misterprofessionality]

it's the kind of thing you drill until thinking isn't part of the equation. You ride enough, you know what good braking feels like, you have enough incidents with cars trying to occupy the same spatial vicinity as your organs and you start doing obstacle avoidance jukes without having to think about it.

Some advice i always give new riders: dodge manhole covers and pot holes. Manhole covers on the street aren't dangerous on their own but they're everywhere, so are potholes. if you juke out of the way of those every time you see them, it's like subconsciously drilling obstacle avoidance. after a number of years of riding like that you'll reach a point where you just dip left or right every time you see one without really thinking about it. the next time an oncoming car comes into your lane you'll do the same thing.
