I found out tonight, the hard way, that Sam likes stiff brakes. You see, he was the last to adjust my brakes. They were quite stiff.
I took a hard turn (last minute decision) and I squeezed the brakes, but not all the way, as I didn't want to lock them up, and I leaned into the turn. The brakes locked and I ended up breaking the rear tire loose and laying the bike over. I did catch myself with my right leg and somehow got pedal whacked on the front of my shin and got 2 huge parallel scrapes (chain ring??) on the back of my calf.
I now have some biker scars. I'm happy. I can't wait until I break something
