The brake performance criteria to be published as part of a mandatory regulation on bicycle safety requirements has been evaluated. Fifteen bicycles were tested in accordance with the regulation. A mathematical adjustment of the actual test speed of the bicycle to 24 km/hr (15 mph) is necessary before the weight allowance can be made to the stopping distance in the evaluation of these tests. A danger of injury to the test rider exists during the tests and future efforts should be made toward replacement of these tests with a simpler laboratory procedure.
