Skidded again on the new bike, whilst keeping up to speed with the traffic. Back wheel fishtailed out, so let go of the brake and pedalled like fuck to regain some semblance of control. Narrowly NARROWLY avoided another tumble.
These brakes are gonna take some practice. My old bike had drum brakes, so had none of this locking the wheel business.
I fall off again in the next 6 months and my wife will destroy me.
