Is it true that applying the front brake causes the back of a bicycle to lift due to weight transfer?

When the front brake of a bicycle is applied, deceleration causes longitudinal weight transfer toward the front wheel, reducing the normal force on the rear wheel and potentially causing it to lift off the ground.
