Went out for a spin on my regular route. Well, actually I was gonna take it on an extended ride, but then it started raining in the direction I was headed. So, I turned around and headed back home.

On the way back, while turning left into an intersection (really slow T-junction) the front wheel let go. It was a good thing the bike was almost upright, and I was only moving at about 5-10 mph. I managed to get my left boot down on the pavement. Everything slid sideways for about a foot-and-a-half. I straightened up an rode onto the shoulder.

Hmmn... I still don't know whether these tires are any good or not. There were so many variables for that situation. It could be the tires, but then again, it just started raining, and since it happened right in the intersection, there may have been a lot more grease build up there than other sections of the road.

Who knows. At least I was cautious in the turn, and left a margin for recovery.
