I had to drop the bike to avoid a Taxi that turned left in front of me in Harrisburg PA. No turn signal and seems as if he made a split second decision to turn in front of me into an alley. It was either put it down or nail him broadside. I managed to avoid making contact although my front wheel was just under the rocker panel of his van.
Sorry to hear about your mishap, hope you heal quick. Can you explain why you "had to drop the bike"? Does a bike really stop quicker sliding on the pavement than it would with both tires contacting the ground? I did not read KVDV's comments before this post, sorry.
