It's just called wheel hop, can happen on acceleration or stopping as the suspension tries to handle what's going on.

Yeah, I've got one: BE REALLY CAREFULL WITH RIDIN' ON BIKES, BECAUSE CARS & TRUCK ECT. DRIVERS JUST DO NOT SEE BIKERS UNLESS THEY WON'T BE SHUT DOWN...  ;)

So I'm on my way to work around 6:15 a.m. this morning enjoying the crisp 36°f air, when all of a sudden a pickup truck from a construction company came out of nowhere on a side street and turned right into my lane without looking. I hit the brakes hard and felt my back wheel hopping (almost felt like ABS) as I came to a stop. Looks like I stopped just a foot short of being hit. Whew...dont need any coffee this morning, as that incident has woken me up like a fire alarm from a deep slumber.

Anyway, why did my back wheel hop like that? I've never had to hit the brakes that hard before, and I'm assuming maybe I hit a little too much rear brake? Anyone have any insight? Any tips for next time?
