I was riding my loaded touring bike from SE Michigan to NW Michigan. North Michigan is beautiful, but very hilly. I know this route very well, yet I lost control over my bike on the last downhill. Rim brakes didn't even slow it down a bit. Two cars coming from other direction just stopped on the side of the road to give me more room. The whole bike was flexing on every little bump...My GPS was showing
