London Cycle Hire

I had this on the first one i ever rode, it got locked up with a tyre that resembles a 50p piece, it was impossible to brake without it locking up. Thought about reporting it as broken but then didn't know if this would affect my "£300" credit line and my Boris no claims bonus. Did put a smile on my face!

I had one with properly tightened brakes the other day, accidentally pulled a few skids negotiating peds crossing over at Vauxhall, then pulled a massoive skid into the docking station. I was thinking "Rad!!" anyone who saw me must have thought "c0ck".

Have the brakes been tightened or was that a lucky one-off?
