Claim 0:
1. A braking apparatus for a bicycle, the apparatus comprising:
a front brake assembly configured to impede rotation of a front wheel;
a rear brake assembly configured to impede rotation of a rotating brake surface of a rear wheel, the rear brake assembly comprising:
a guide; and
a brake pad assembly comprising a brake pad attached to a slide, the brake pad configured to contact the rotating brake surface to impede rotation of the rotating brake surface, and the slide configured to slide relative to the guide;

a cylinder comprising a piston coupled to the slide, the cylinder configured to hold a fluid; and
a tube fluidically connecting the cylinder and the front brake assembly;
wherein the brake pad is configured to be pressed against the rotating brake surface of the rear wheel when braking, creating a friction force between the rotating brake surface and the brake pad, causing the brake pad and the slide to move together with respect to the guide to move the piston within the cylinder such that pressurized fluid exits the cylinder and flows through the tube to operate the front brake assembly to apply a braking force to impede rotation of the front wheel; and
wherein the braking force applied by the front brake assembly to the front wheel is reduced when the rear wheel loses contact with a ground surface, thereby releasing the front wheel for rotation to impede the bicycle from flipping over the front wheel.
