My first post

I'm riding a Surly Steamroller...a lovely ride, great handling and control, however I can't stop as quickly in an emergency as i can on a v-braked hybrid(Slam on breaks. lock arms and weight backwards ). I have one brake and ride 48 - 17 gear. I am just able to skid back wheel but still takes me too long to stop...
Any tips?

@d0cA suggested I get 2 brakes

Friendly place I thought
