If you need to stop quickly, what part would you squeeze to bring your bike to a stop?
Answer Brake Lever
The break levers are located on the handlebars and will help bring your bicycle to a stop. Pulling this lever activates the brake caliper through the brake cable. In the U.S. and France it is the law that bicycles are sold where the left brake lever controls the front brake, and the right brake lever controls the back brake. In other countries such as Italy and Great Britain, its reversed.
