        Or you just forget to downshift when you stop, have a momentary lapse of judgement, bump your shifter, etc. This could happen for lots of reasons.

      I’ve been riding decades and still fuck up once in while, it happens. Forgetting to downshift at a stop isn’t all that uncommon, at least for me.
