Today as i was riding down a pretty steep hill my front canti brake came loose. The right side of the front pair just fell of with a loud snap as i was applying the brake. My rear brake is not very good, its more of a speed modulator so i was really lucky that no cars or other objects were in the way before i could come to a halt (at the end of the hill) with my foot doing its best version of land anchor.

I guess the shutter and vibrations had loosened the bolt enough for it to finally come all the way out on this decent. I should inspect the bike more often (esp the brakes) but this time of the year its pretty hectic to be a courier so i come home and neglect bike care as im bit fed up with bikes for the moment .)

I know most know this (i guess i did to) but its easy to forget / neglect especially on your "less prestine" bikes. Could have been bad. Stay safe!
