Spotted...

A few times.... but purely by accident. I'm also trying to learn to brake with my shoe on the back of the wheel, for extreme circumstances. It'll save me doing running jumps (mulga bill style) which can be terrifying depending on speed/gradient.

mulga bill: legend. the original brakeless hipster.

kat, your post reminded me to go and look up the poem, which I used to love when I was a kid. my dad could recite it from memory.
