Interesting I was literally just about to make the same thread title, for a different reason though. Coming down Holland Park Avenue and I look to me left, Oh look a fellow fixer spinning it up down the hill, oh wait a minute, he's coasting, with a front brake only? He's absolutely breezing it, a van pulls out, he pulls brake and endos HARD and flies about 10m forward through the air after going over the bars and scrapes the road for about the same. I help him up make sure he's alright, mainly bruises and road rash but it could have been so much worse, he missed the van by about 1 metre and could have flown through the air straight into it.
