May have slightly, uh, gone into the back of a car in traffic this morning. Thankfully it was such a tiny bump they didn't notice. Weird though because the road surface was super treacly and I felt like I was putting tons of effort in and barely picking up any speed, but then when I came to stop I just wasn't slowing down at all either. Might just be me not being used to the roller brake though and expecting an immediate stop rather than a graceful gradual one.
