But essentially, the need to come to a solid stop for a sudden "brick wall" rarely happens, whichever mode. The purpose of braking is, mostly, to gain time for the events ahead to change (if unexpected, the situation must be dynamic) or to set an alternative path.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Very true, I have never had to lay my bike down like I used to with a motorbike as I am nimble enough to avoid collisions by having lots of road to play with. -- Simon Mason |

How could he brake while banging on the car roof? Sigh. It is likely that being in traffic he would have been doing 15-20mph to begin with. He would have braked to a much lower speed initially but as the car was also braking it did not get past him. Since he was given no room, he was unable to steer a trajectory that could both move him left and shift his balance to his left. At a low speed, he had no options left. Indeed. Or he might have been on a not entirely legal bike and doing all his braking with his feet... -- Mark |
