| Group riding (riding at speeds you wouldn't normally ride at on your own) and target fixation, the result of too much unfamiliar speed means you run wide...which means you panic...see the fast approaching curb/bush/wall/car (delete as appropriate) and hit the brakes, either tucking the front or sitting the bike up and ploughing straight on.
