BRAKE FAILURE

I had almost forgotten about this incident, when I rode in on Tuesday, once again I rode with my mate, which I must tell you was our quickest ride yet, it had been a good ride, we burned through Hurstville and Forest Rd had a bit of fun through the traffic that was backed up on the intersection that dissects the Princes Hwy. Obviously I had been using the breaks a bit especially the back one.

As we were pulling up outside my mates work right next to UTS my back brake cable snapped giving me a bit of fright, and the poor person I almost ran into. Lucky for me it was right near the end of the ride because when I tried to ride home that afternoon I kept forgetting I had no back brake, after a few scary moments I decided to jump on the train, I went straight my local bike shop and within ten minutes he had fixed the problem and I was back on the road. (I think one time soon I will need to by a new bike)
