Question cruisers and brakes

Hi,

Newbie to cruisers.

I don't suppose there is a proven recipe for breaking on a cruiser?

I assume most braking is still done with the front break, even though most of the weight (on a cruiser) is at the back.
The back tyre does have a tendency to lock up easier then the front, correct?

I guess I will just have to practice and work out what's best for my bike...

Thanks
