happened to me taking a corner in camden on Friday evening, went down like i hit an ice patch. if i didn't have a helmet id have slid a meter or so on my forehead and nose. need to replace that now. pavement spectators were super nice and kind, to the point of a guy handing me 3 oxys...
then an hour later i saw a big guy do the same thing on a corner by tower bridge. he hit hard. it's just plain old greasy out there. i'm real cautious to corner until a proper rainstorm rolls through. careful out there.street sweepers should have a suds setting.

Saw somebody come off on the corner at the top of Portland Place and Park Crescent Southbound. Poor chap just slid out and hit the deck. Stopped; he was OK, just a bit shook up. Weirdly slippy today. Maybe no rain to wash away unburnt hydrocarbons.
