Slippery when wet - Someone had to do it...  One of the more safe for work photos that I found on google image search!
Not had an encounter with wet leaves yet this year, although I'm sure it'll happen soon enough.

At this time of year, take great care when riding on wet leaves! They can be VERY slippery when against hard tarmac surfaces, or even large piles of them in woodland etc etc.
They are especially slippery when they have decomposed a little into that slushy mush. Add fresh rainfall and hard braking, and you could spin like a Jamacian bobsleigh.

Well this is something you learn at a young age when out hammering round street croners and tree's over hang and there leaves build up and in the rain they become like a ice rink ..
Still there is a danger to the inexperienced , But it's all about hittin the corner at the right speed ,
