"Fraction of a second" I think I wrote... and a brake would not have sorted my problem. I was basically riding too close to the driver in front. me = dickhead.
Never again ( touches wood ).
It is mad because you may do some crazy shit on your bike and get away with it for years then you have a 'blip'. This 'blip' has shook me... Although I honestly believe that a brakeless track bike cannot be beaten on aesthetics, My health and life are the most important things to me so I either: ride real slow all the time and take super care on the road or buy a fork that will enable me to put a brake on.
Hmmmmm.
