and dood slamming on your rear brake seems to be pretty stupid if you ask me. what in gods name would make you think your going to stop in time with your rear brake? and at 25mph i wouldnt have laid her down to avoid hitting her, i would have hit that bitch and got a nice lawsuit going and a new bike for the track to go along with it.

some old lady stopped in the middle of the road at a green light in front of my mom when she was on her bike and my mom hit her going like 45. my sister was on the back also luckily she only got away with a few scrapes but my mom had a broken foot because the bike laid down on her leg. she scored 110 grand for that lawsuit and got it within 8 months.

so i say to you now...while going 25 mph you should have enough time to figure out whether you want to be a wealthy man or if you want to be stuck with the repair bill because the old shrew high tailed it out of thier before you got her info.

This is why most accidents can be avoided, because know how to avoid it in the first place. You should take your bike out somewhere and pratice emergency stopping apply both brakes but, hell of alot more on the front.

I'm glad your ok... We all learn from mistakes.
