Hi,
I've heard a fair bit about the technique of swinging the handlebars 90 degrees to stop instantly, but I've never had the guts to try it out. I live in London so it's generally a good idea to prepare for any eventuality - I have a Ridgeback Cyclone with slick tyres...if I ever need to stop VERY quickly should I do this? If so, how? Will it trash my tyres?
Thanks in advance.
