Once the brake pads make contact with the rear wheel, the Slidepad slides forward, which pulls a cable that is connected to the front brakes. It was designed to prevent riders from flipping over their handlebars when applying the front brake. It modulates the front brake force in real time, based on the road surface and rider weight position, and avoids front wheel lockup accidents when applying the front brake. Slidepad is an Intelligent Brake Distribution (IBD) technology, aimed at making braking easier for novice or casual cyclists, integrates into V-brake systems to provide single-lever braking. In November 2012, the company took a 40-day, 11,000 mile, 'Save Your Teeth Tour' across 90 bike shops from Palo Alto, California to New Jersey. Stanford University and Jamis Bicycles currently use Slidepad technology. Jamis Bicycles was the first bike-manufacturer to specify the technology on their 2013 models. In 2011, Slidepad Technologies formed an agreement with a Taiwanese manufacturer to build a Slidepad braking system for OEM distribution. In 2013 Alan Nordin, former president of Fallbrook Technologies' bicycle division, joined the company as an executive advisor. In 2009, Riley and Ouellet entered their initial design in Cal Poly's Business Plan competition and won 1st place. Ouellet received inspiration for the product after he crashed his bicycle when applying too much pressure on his front brakes, resulting in front wheel lockup. Slidepad was started by Riley and Ouellet while students at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.
