Unfortunately this happens all too often. Even where I live, in a semi-rural suburban area, I was on a ride with my group one Saturday morning and while turning onto a heavy traffic road one of the guys in the head of the group slipped on some sand that we didn't see and caused a chain reaction of 4 more bikes following him to go over and slid across traffic on a 4 lane road. Thankfully the traffic light was just turning green so no cars were coming yet and they actually were nice enough to wait a minute till we cleared the road to continue on. I could only imagine what would have happened if the light had changed just a few moments earlier.
