It has happened to me riding brakeless on the road

It's not just me then.

Did you maim yourself or anyone else during this momentary lapse as suggested was likely by early posters?!

Sorry about the pic of the fragrent Ms Moser, I thought the moderators (according to a message) had looked through the post before allowing it onto the board.

ha

there is a hilarious pic of Veronica Moser looking a bit like Vanessa Feltz after a massive chocolate binge... priceless... it cheered me up anyway

that would make it Wheres is my beard surely?

Great. Can you help us understand the punctuation of you're're username?

probably not

You'll *probably *understand the whole concept of the forum once you do.

I do now

Where my beard, have you Google Veronica Moser before?

nope

You are used to reaching out with your fingers and pulling back to stop, regardless of what bars you're using the hand action remains the same, you're just grabbing for the brakes then instantly thinking "oh yeah, drops..." then moving to the tops.

Sounds about right, tbh

Didn't think this thread would stir up this much interest, considering how brakeless riding seems to be accepted freely in most sites i've seen to do with fixed gear riding.

lol

fixed

I'm not asking for a advice here, I'm just stating an odd observation, which clearly non of you have experienced yourself.

I don't get your point...

I am braking perfectly safely and in proper control as it is. I just get a milliseconds impulse...

I recently swapped some narrow riser bars for some Charge Bowl track bars, and for some reason, every now and then I reach to use brakes like the ones in the pic above... when in fact I have a single dirty harry lever near the stem.

Luckily this hasn't got me into too much bother yet.

Have I tapped into the ancient collective cycling psyche, making me have this odd impulse??

Or do I just need to focus more when I'm riding?

I have never used drop bars before, so this isn't some weird muscle memory thing.
