https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknew...cid=spartandhp QUOTE: Mr Corsini was pronounced dead at the scene. The cyclist was riding a fixed gear bike which is not road legal, according to police investigator PC David Keen. He said: “The bike has a fixed gear and no front brake. In order to slow or speed up he has to use resistance in his legs. “The nature of this type of cycle could have made it more difficult to slow down or speed up.” ENDQUOTE An Alliston bike? As bad as the outcome was, it could conceivably have been worse. |

If you forget you're riding fixed-wheel there's a tendency for the bike to launch you when you try to leave a leg extended, as you might to prevent pedal strike when swerving. The fact that the bike had no front brake probably wasn't relevant but it being a fixie may have been the cause of the crash. |

"If you forget you're riding fixed-wheel" I thought better of you than that. Next time I use the road, I really must remember what sort of road vehicle I'm using. It won't be a bicycle. |
