The short answer is that braking in a bend is best avoided if possible. That said, there will be unforseen circumstances which make such braking desirable if an accident is to be avoided.
The complication of braking or accelerating through a bend arises because of the gyroscope effect where changes in wheel speed seek to force the bike upright whilst it is banked over. This make the bike difficult to control. In addition, whilst the bike in banked over, the tyre contact patch with the road is smaller that whilst upright. Braking or accelerating hard in a bend runs the risk of skidding and the bike sliding away as the tyres lose grip. Therefore braking through a bend is best done carefully, combining both front and rear brakes with engine braking and avoiding grabbing a fistful of front brake, which will almost certainly result in a front wheel skid and loss of control.

What is the difference between a breaking ball and a curve ball?
A curveball falls under the general category of "breaking ball". A "breaking ball" refers to any pitch that is thrown with movement (i.e. a curveball, slider, sinker, etc.").

What do you do when you are driving behind a motorcycle and you want to pass?
Pass a motorcycle the same way you would pass a car. If you are passing on a curve just remember that motorcycles can take turns faster than a car and that many take the shortest line through a curve.
What are the different types of bike seat bars available for purchase?
There are three main types of bike seat bars available for purchase: flat bars, riser bars, and drop bars. Flat bars are straight across and provide a more upright riding position. Riser bars have a slight upward curve for a more comfortable riding position. Drop bars curve downward and are commonly used on road bikes for a more aerodynamic riding position.
What do you need in order to pass a car safely at speed 45mph?
In order to safely pass a vehicle at any speed, you need to have plenty of room to get around the slower vehicle. You shouldn't pass on a curve or a hill, and you should never pass a motorcycle in the same lane the motorcycle is driving in.
How can I effectively curve drywall?
To effectively curve drywall, you can use a technique called wetting and bending. First, lightly mist the drywall with water to make it more pliable. Then, gently bend the drywall into the desired curve and hold it in place until it dries. This method helps prevent the drywall from cracking or breaking while curving it.
What were the outstanding pitches that Dizzy Dean was famous for?
Dizzy Dean was famous for his explosive fastball and a tight breaking curve ball. He had command of both of these pitches.

Is it safe to for a twelve year old boy to attempt to pitch a breaking ball or curve ball?
they can throw one maybe 3 times a game but not for every batter
What are the differences between flat and drop bars on a bicycle and how do they affect the riding experience?
Flat bars on a bicycle are straight across, while drop bars curve downwards. Flat bars provide a more upright riding position, better for casual riding and control. Drop bars offer multiple hand positions for better aerodynamics and speed, ideal for longer rides and racing. The choice between the two depends on personal preference and riding style.
How can you measure the length of a curved line?
You can measure the length of a curved line by using a flexible measuring tape following the curve or by breaking it down into smaller straight segments and adding them up. Another option is to use a formula that calculates the arc length of a curve based on its equation and limits.
