My brakes don't slow down the bicycle fast enough. How do I fix them?

Rotate the barrel adjuster located on the brake handle in a counter-clockwise direction to slightly tighten your brakes. If the barrel adjusters did not tighten your brakes enough, then you will need to adjust your brake cable. Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the nut on the brake that holds the brake cable. Pull the end of the brake cable away from the bike to tighten your brakes. Be sure that the brakes don't make contact with the rims when you're not pulling on the brake handle.
