After a few shots of Jamie it's hard to think about anything?


Case in point. I had a brake on a junker fixie last year because I did not trust the hub. I am cruising along and passing a bus on the left when out runs this girl. In split second reactions I immediately locked the wheel and swung the bike into a side skid saving both her ass and mine. I did not even think about the brake and if I did then there probably would have been an accident.
