It didnt happen today but 2 days ago. I almost got killed. It was a blind corner, I was going about 25mph and so was the car. He had no stop sign. I hit the brakes (coster and A.M. front). I was able to stop the bike but the enertia didnt let ME. Bike = stop. Me = flip over. The bike did a 320 degree turning stop. I spun around on the bike and I thought "Im OK". Then my friend "enertia" came calling. I flew off the bike and lightly hit my head. If the driver of the car didnt slow down and stop, I would be pavement meat. Im fine I just wanted to share my story. Be safe and slow down at intersections. One good side note....the bike is fine...no damage.

Glad you are OK. Even with a front brake, the stopping distances can be a bit long. Hitting the kill switch helps it to stop also.
