Is this common or was I just unlucky?
Travelling down New Cavendish Street at lunchtime on my Brompton just touched the brakes and the next thing I'm on the deck to a really weird noise.
At first I thought it was some kind of mechanical then I realised the noise was a flattened plastic bottle under the wheel skidding along the ground.
I have a front bag on the bike so can't see the front wheel.
Obviously my own fault and a momentary lapse of concentration but not something I'd considered as a major hazzard on my 700C bikes.
Came away with a bloodied hand and knee but luckily wasn't run over by the Porsche Panamera behind me.
