Default Front Brake Mistake + Train

Last week a new rider in all his glory came up to a railroad crossing a little fast, train is coming and in his haste used all front brake, according to witnesses rear in came up sent rider into side of train! Did have helmet on. Lesson learned slow down, learn to use both brakes! Ride Safe! Ride Often!
