"Having only one brake is not a smart idea. My back brake is not the best anyways, so riding a bike this way has many possible disadvantages. I am sure you can think of a couple of disadvantages."
That is a quote from my story of Heal Toe Express. What I want to share with you here is what actually happened when difficulties came about due to low braking power.
Having only a back brake that hardly worked at all, I could not stop and I hit a curb and fell over. Here is the sequence of events that took place on my way to work.
I arrived at work and I called Jeff to give me a ride home, and Alison ended up giving me a ride home. The sad part of the story is that I could have slept in this day because I did not have to go to work. So I ended up being at work for many hours because I had no other way to get home.
