Slammed the brakes on last week to avoid peds crossing. Stayed on the bike but I think that's what did my back & I figured out I've ripped my back brake apart. Would have been more economical to just plough on and - with flashing lights / luminous pink jacket - I'd still have the moral high-ground.
