Beware Bicycles

[Gio]

Yesterday I fell off my bike, a brand-new model I might add. It happened the first time I needed to stop. I simply squeezed the brake levers, as per the instructions in the manual, and the bicycle came to an abrupt halt, which surprised me so much that I lost my balance.

This is a very dangerous design feature. I am surprised it has not been on 'Watchdog', but then they waste their time on 4WD all-terrain vehicles and package holidays.

Please warn your readers. I have written to every other cycling magazine but they would not listen; they are fools.

Your unfortunate experience is not a novel one, though your response certainly is. We would suggest that you join a bicycling support group so that you may have access to the expertise of fellow cyclists.
