These things can happen. It’s hard to analyze what makes the pavement slippery sometimes. You may never know.

I had a similar event where the back wheel went around behind me on completely dry and debris free pavement. I was taking a turn into a grocery store. There wasn’t even an oil slick or anything.

Back wheel came way out and tried to pass me. I just changed the front wheel orientation and luckily was balanced correctly to steer into the skid and even more luckily it didn’t catch and slowly went back to normal traction. If it caught I would have high sided for sure. But it didn’t. So I was able to slide and then keep going without falling.

I’m going to guess it with my chain lube or something. There was nothing on that road
