Hey don’t be braking on gravel! That will kill you! Remember, braking energy is a function of the velocity squared. If you can halve the velocity, you cut down the kinetic energy to ¼. So, slow down as much as possible on the road. Then pull off at a shallow angle to the soft shoulder. Gently use your rear brake to slow down and stop. Even if you are going 1 mph do not put your feet down. Wait until you stop.
