As I said, it's the "over the top" effect that limits braking.
Most road riders do not brake near that limit so it isn't a

Isn't that an inherent design flaw? Perhaps we should refer to it
as the OTB force from this point on and ask ourselves why the
manufacturers continue to market such a product. And why hasn't the
CPSC stepped in?


Just wondering....


The hell you say! Maybe bicycles should be banned because you can
fall over if you stop and don't put your foot down... on the side to
which the bicycle leans....

Since I have a recumbent trike, I am well prepared for this contingency.
