Slide Pad is an innovative braking system designed to make bicycle braking as simple as using one pedal in a car. Developed by two college students after a family member's accident, it eliminates the risk of using the wrong brake lever. The system allows for a smooth, controlled stop by pulling a single lever that engages both the rear and front brakes. Slide Pad enhances braking efficiency and safety, offering a stress-free riding experience.
