Multiple low sides.
 At this corner at a Sainsbury's, at least 3 bikes have low sided and at least two have nearly lost the front. The speed limit is 5mph and all the bikes have adhered to this (+VAT +import tax) There doesn't seem to be anything on the ground and the Tarmac is 1 year old and well rubbered. There was, however, a common theme with the last two bikes. They had only ridden a very short distance which leads me to believe their tyres were cold. The others didn't have cold tyres though. Any ideas?? This is Sainsbury's Portswood, for those in and around Southampton. I don't want to do paperwork for you too!!! |

Re: Multiple low sides.
A shiny English pound to the person who posts the first knee down sequence which doesn't result in a crash.
No?

Re: Multiple low sides.
If it's not cold tyres I would put my money on either old rubber or touching the white lines, or simply being rubbish and braking, or being REALLY rubbish and just falling over since it's quite tight.

Re: Multiple low sides.
The poor little 16 year old who fell off today was on a 13 plate. And the guy I was talking to just now had 1000 mile old BT021's.
