If you have a bicycle you can "paddle", please tell us more. I've been trying to combine my bicycling with canoeing for years.

Is a back brake on a mountain bike the one that stops you the most?

Actually, no. It's more difficult for the back brake to stop a bicycle as the bicycle is pulling away from the rear wheel. The front brake stops a bicycle more efficiently because the weight of the bike is pushing forward into the front wheel. But it's important not to rely on only a front brake. The front brake can stop the bike so well that the weight of the bike can shift up and over the front axle creating what is often referred to as an "endo" and will toss the rider over the handlebars.
