Brake-ing News

More bike news today as am slightly anxious to report my rear brakes spontaneously, err, broke on the way home from work. The mistake I made was obviously applying the brake in the first place, too much for the brake line which split from the brake handle and started waving around like a snake on hot coals in my line of sight. Most frustrating, as I was counting on my bike to get about tomorrow as we've got a day off - Queen's day. So I will have to celebrate in an un-Dutch style, on foot not on bicycle.


Not my broken brake but one like it. I'd be embarrassed to have such a rusty classic Dutch bike
