A bike, generally, can't brake faster than a car, no?


Depends on the bike, but usually a little less stopping power at lower speeds. Above 45mph or so, it's a wash. Bigger bikes also stop slower.


It is the seemingly prevailing train of thought even if it isn't exactly accurate. But why should that stop it from being believed?


ABS on bikes has largely erased the difference.
