I was gonna say to drag the back brake for stability when doing those U-turns, but it doesn't appear to have enough spare power to allow that.

A wee question of a biking nature; I have a nice pair of cordura motorcycling trousers here, a bargain at £20, which fit spot on. The only slight annoyance is I find them a bit slippy on the saddle. Is there anything I could do to make the seat of said trousers less slippy?

Ha! Or one of those wooden ball jobs for the Turkish cabbie look! I'd rather not tinker with the bike, just wants summat to make the seat of the trousers less slidy. Maybe a dust with a bit of chalk like weightlifters use! This afternoon I was squashing me nuts everytime I got to a junction.
