Slightspeed

I've done two front end wheelies with my disc braked Culprit. The last time was when a jerk in a Chevy van thought the cars were all stopped for him, as I was riding on a traffic light controlled bike path, which crosses a road. Both times, I was able to panic stop, the rear wheel came up, but I was able to get a foot down and not go over. I love my disc brakes, despite what the uninformed guy in another thread says about them. The other time was my fault making a left turn against oncoming traffic coming faster than I anticipated. Panic stop, rear wheel came up, didn't go over, just stopped. A momentary front end wheelie beats becoming a car's grill decoration.
