heauy skidding takes away the whole cost benefit of biking to work. An extra tyre every month ?
Maybe I am just crap at doing so, my knees hurt afterwards and so I miss the fun factor a bit , so I dont see the point very much.
Everyone who shares the experience of commuting on The Strand during rush would agree that the leg position is always just wrong when
these buses,cars,motorbikies,people,cabbies interfere anyway , so you I MUST HAVE a brake anyway, so why not use it while backpedaling ?
