Ahh winter... Went down hard on the geared bike today - turning right on a roundabout, car approaching from the left didn't slow, much less stop. Dabbed the brake but the bike was already sliding out on the wet, greasy road. If my cleats had released my bike would have slid under the wheels. They did stop to make sure I was ok, but had gone by the time I'd got off the roundabout.
Told myself to HTFU and finish the ride though - good feeling.
I need 28s. Grippy, grippy 28s...
