[QUOTE="FJRottie, post: 4462, member: 526"] I am not trying to tell you how to suck eggs, but, to alleviate that, I always, always, when at very slow speeds, leave the front brake alone. It is habit for me to drag or apply the rear brake only in parking lots, slow traffic etc. The hardest part of riding is riding slow. I usually practice every now and then doing slow figure eights or riding very slow. Looking ahead of where you are going instead of down, does wonders as well I always see funny techniques on bikes in slow traffic. The funniest is when I see someone following heavy slow traffic and they ride blocks with both feet dragging along the ground or something like that. That just shows inexperience or underconfidence. I love those "slow as possible" drag races at bike meets. Practice makes perfect. :D Anyway, everybody makes mistakes and it sucks when we goof. [/QUOTE]
