They say it happens to everyone eventually.
Decided to ride in to work this morning. A little brisk at 10 degrees celsius so I was taking it easy as my engine was still cold. Easy left turn at the light and my front wheel slides out from under me and down she goes. My poor baby!
Broken shifter knob, scratched mirror, bruised ego.
But why did she slide out from me when I was going so slowly? Think, think. Ah hah!
Let this be a lesson: When polishing up your bike to show it off, keep the tire shine off the tread!
