Finding That The Brakes Suddenly Are Not Working

This is probably in the top ten if I had to make a list of the ways I think I'll probably die. If it were to happened while I was driving a car, I'd panic and try to crash into the curb, but knowing me I'd end up driving off a cliff in a fiery wreck like in a movie or mowing down every possible pedestrian.

In the more likely event it happened while I was riding my bike, I really wouldn't know what to do. My bike is configured (rightly so) so that I physically could not drag my heels on the ground to stop myself. It'd happen on Bloor St. I'd probably try to stop myself by any means necessary but just skid into the intersection or wobble into traffic and get run over.

Shit. I should really figure this out.
