What is another word for coaster brake?
Pronunciation: [kˈə͡ʊstə bɹˈe͡ɪk] (IPA) 
A coaster brake is an important component of a bicycle that provides it with a braking mechanism. There are a few other terms to describe this brake system. One of them is the footbrake, which is used in almost the same way as a coaster brake but the braking force is applied more gradually. Another term is the back pedal brake, which is commonly found on children's bicycles. It is activated by pedaling backward which engages the brake. Lastly, internal hub brakes are also known as coaster brakes and are typically found in more advanced bicycles. Whatever term you use, the coaster brake remains an essential part of a bicycle's design for safe stopping and controlled slowing down.
