The lowsider or lowside is a type of motorcycle or bicycle crash usually occurring in a turn. It is caused when either the front or rear wheel slides out as a result of either too much braking into the corner, too much acceleration through or out of the corner, or too much speed carried into or through the corner for the available grip.[1] It may also be caused by unexpected slippery or loose material (such as oil, water, dirt, gravel or leaves) on the road surface.
In the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Australia it is referred to as a "lowside" rather than a "lowsider".
