Set off this morning down the steep hill from my house only to realise I hadn't tightened up my brake again, was pretty terrifying when the bike didn't slow down straight away but kept it under control.

Took it easy on the way home, got overtaken by a full on nodder (rarely see a cyclist going the same way as me) and he rather pleasantly said 'good evening' on his way past. I obliviously shouted 'morning!' back at him, cheery as owt. Fantastic.

what happened in the end then? bike still there?
