Brakeless

If you ride brakless and don't skid you must be going everywhere at 10mph, learn to skid pronto. Blaming the long wheelbase of your frame is nonsense it's the lack of muscle in your legs that's stopping you.

Dont think its a lack of leg muscle (i leg press 200kg easily :)
i think i have never properly "commited to a skid" which is the problem/reason, and no i dont ride 10mph! :) average speed is acctually 17.5mph in london... not too bad
