I'm glad Jonathan is OK. We can only imagine what would happen to someone with that kind of failure on a fast descent in traffic. That's precisely why I ride a steel bike with a steel fork.
Same here ! I have no faith in carbon fiber forks , I am glad it happened at a slowish speed away from traffic, and am VERY happy he made it out ok.
