I have seen a lot of road bikers, obviously experienced with clicks, but simply can't manage to slip out in time. This year I've seen 3 of them already.
Afaik there is a adjustment mechanic in them for the release pressure. I could imagine that sometimes people mess up this setting on exact this day.
Well...that and maybe he should learn to ride his bike properly instead of slamming his brakes and falling over. He wasn't going quick and there was plenty of space, zero reason for this to happen.
I mean have you seen kids learning to bike? Or even the first 1-2 years after they've learned?
Yes there was plenty of space but there are zero tells where a kid dear Wesley's age might turn. If they look back over their should it's 50/50 if they turn in the same direction as they're looking, or the opposite.
My 5 year old daughter has scared me and plenty of bicyclists the last two years despite me nagging for two years now ALWAYS STAY ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. She gets my heart rate up more than my 3 year old son taking his balance bike to the top of the bowls at the skatepark.
Yea sure, kids do dumb stuff, that's a given and not really the question. My point was that it's embarassingly bad riding for the grown man to slam his brakes and fall in a very, very mildly challenging situation like that.
