That said, sometimes just engaging the brake to show the vehicle behind you're slowing stops them ending up on your backside!

Having just started riding, this is something that is often on my mind when on the bike – I find engine braking more than enough to control my
speed but do find that unless I show a brake light then cars can be up my backside very quickly.

Is it a good idea to tap the back brake a few times lightly to demonstrate to those behind you that you are slowing down?
