Conkers! front wheel slid out at least 5 times on the way home, they are lethal, worse than wet leaves.

I hit some mushed up conkers about 6-7 years ago. Turned into my second worst crash ever, off the bike for 6 weeks with deep tissue bruising. I didn't even have chance to react, was cycling along one minute, next minute head first into tarmac.

Oily seed aint they? Could account for the nasty spills on them when crushed.
