Ok - you don't need to answer that...
It happened again this morning..riding slowly (10-15mph) along a quiet urban street which curved left: unsighted by a parked van so conciously thinking "careful - could be something coming the other way" - guess what:there was!!
I reacted by grabbing a handful of front brake, but as I was travelling so slowly just succeded in locking the front wheel, and 'cos the bike was leaning left it was down before I realised it.
3rd time I've done this at slow speed in 8yrs - is it just me? :bad bike handling?
Normal braking I use back with the front, but in an "emergency stop" type of situation, the reaction is to grab the front.
Maybe I need stabilisers...
