What is dumping a bike? I have used to front brake on the bike when it is going at very slow speeds with no issues. Would this apply mainly to bigger bikes?
Applies to all bikes. When you get to the section about bike geometry and steering you will understand a lot better. Rear brake only for slow speeds or gravity will get your attention real fast. It is easier to fall at slow speeds compared to higher speeds.
