"Oh Shit" moments...

Unlock bike, hop on, saunter up to the queue of traffic at red light, gentle braking to stop, nothing happens, panic, hard braking feels like something is very wrong, manage to stop and look at the brakes, someone's only gone and released the quick release on my front brake haven't they?

Stating the obvious / teaching Granny to suck eggs etc but check your front skewer hasn't been loosened off too mate! Sounds like someone was trying to have it away with your front wheel. One bunny hop later and you might be pulling permanent wheelies in circles looking for a grassy knoll to embed your teeth into.

Just saying.

God I'm so Health and safety! Actually considered PMing Arducius! (should I PM Ardicius ?)
