Can you brake this bike by pedaling backwards?

If you are using the fixed gear cog you can stop by applying back pressure on the pedals/skid

It will not engage a brake of any kind, but it will slow you down a little. The fixed gear is controlled exactly the same way, forwards and backwards. So theoretically, you could stop just by using your pedals. I tried using the fixed gear and it was not for me. After a few days, I switched it back to the freewheel.

If you want to be able to pedal backwards freeky. Simple flip the rear wheel. It's a flip hub which means one side is fixed and the other is single speed. Stay coastin.

Training whells are removable and yes, reverse peddles to brake....awesome bike!

No. You would have to pick it up to turn around. For safety reasons the brake would go on if you tried to go backwards

I doubt it. I think that if one did pedal in reverse it would defeat the purpose of the left hand thread on the pedal bolt, and it will keep on loosening.I've had success with it so far. But I'm going to put a bracket or something on the pedals to stop my feet from sliding up.

Yes and no. You can if the bike is firmly secure and doesn't "pivot." But if the bike "pivots" or leans to the inside then the pedal will hit. All in all, I would answer that Yes you can pedal it fine. I will be honest. I bought this rack for general repairs and I absolutely love it. I would highly recommend it for general maintenance and cleaning. The only addition I made was buying the Park handlebar stabilizer. That comes in super handy to hold the handlebars in place.

It does not have hand brakes, but you brake by pedaling backwards, much like the bike you probably had as a child. It works, but feels a lot slower than hand brakes. If you need to stop suddenly, you'll probably need to jump off the bike.

Unfortunately not you'll need your front brake as your main way of stopping coast is the free spinning hub side so back pressure will just turn your pedals backwards freely and not engage the gear

yep. Not hand brakes, but the kind that when you pedal backward they are activated

Yes, a fixed speed bike is like a track bike. If you pedal backwards the bike would go backwards. If the bike is moving the pedals always move.But, most fixed speed bikes I have used, have a rear wheel that you can with a free wheel on the opposite side. So, if you switch it to free wheel setting, it rides like a normal bike where you can roll without having to pedal all the time.Thanks

Yes, you can! There is even a reverse train workout that cues you to pedal forwards and backwards at different intervals.

I've never tried that but the pedal are pretty far forward so it may tip forward if you try that. But it might work if you lean back a bit.

Mmmm... Maybe... But i think You will get some troubles to apply brakes in bike

I'm not sure in the specifics of that bike. But it seemed to be pretty basic. You can use disc or v brakes and it's a Presta tube.

The brakes are hand brakes. They seem to work just fine. You can pedal backwards without effect to your heart's content.

You could do it but you need to stand in the pedals, hold the set with one hand and the other one adjust the seat.It is easier if you get off the bike.It is a good bike.Hope this helps!

Can pedal backwards but bike doesn't go backwards and yes it does click but it's quiet compared to some I've heard
