coaster brakes
Backpedal to halt
Coaster brakes are bicycle brakes activated by pedaling backward.
The mechanism sits inside the rear hub, engaging when reverse pressure is applied to the pedals.
Standard on children's bikes and cruisers, they eliminate the need for hand-operated brake levers: She skidded to a stop using the coaster brakes.
