The brakes of a city bike are essential components to ensure the safety of the cyclist and the control of their bike when traveling in an urban environment. Here is a presentation of their function and characteristics:

Function :

The main function of a city bike's brakes is to slow down or stop the bike in an efficient and controlled manner. They allow the cyclist to modulate their speed and stop safely, reducing the risk of collision and accident.

Features :

1. Brake type:

City bikes can be equipped with different types of brakes, including:
- Rim brakes: These are the most common brakes on city bikes. They work by squeezing the pads against the wheel rims to slow or stop the bike. They offer good modulation and are easy to maintain.
- Drum brakes: These brakes are integrated into the wheel hub and provide better stopping power, as well as more consistent performance compared to rim brakes. They are often used on city bikes for their reliability and low maintenance.
- Disc brakes: Increasingly present on city bikes, these brakes offer high stopping power and consistent performance in varied conditions, including wet weather. They are also more effective than rim brakes for bikes with wide tire wheels or heavy loads.
- Coaster brakes: These brakes are activated by pedaling backwards and are often used on urban bikes for their simplicity and intuitive use. They are not as effective as other types of brakes, but may be sufficient for low-speed city use.

2. Braking power:

Braking power depends on the type of brake used, the quality of the components and the appropriate adjustments. Disc brakes generally offer the highest stopping power, followed by drum brakes and rim brakes.

3. Modulation:

Modulation refers to the ability to gradually control braking power as needed. Rim brakes generally offer higher modulation, followed by disc brakes and drum brakes.

4. Maintenance:

Some types of brakes require regular maintenance, such as replacing brake pads for rim brakes or adjusting tension for drum brakes. Disc brakes may require periodic maintenance to maintain their effectiveness.

5. Compatibility:

It is important to choose brakes that are compatible with the city bike's frame and wheels, as well as the brake levers used.

In summary, the brakes of a city bike are crucial components in ensuring the safety and control of the rider in an urban environment. By choosing brakes tailored to their needs, preferences and riding conditions, cyclists can maximize their safety and riding pleasure in the city.
