Today, I learned that my brakes don't work anymore on my bike. When did I learn this? While speeding down a really steep hill. FML

Let's just hope that your bike is going so fast that it begins to fly like E.T.

You would know before you reached a hill if your cars brakes are out.

Ouch. But at least you're still alive to check next time you take your bike out. But you really should've checked your brakes before hand, especially if it's been a while since you took your bike out or it's old, though fair play if you did and they just chose that moment to break on you.

You are aware beforehand that you have no brakes so you use your feet first. Seeing as he was unaware, going very fast and probably panicking, he probably didn't have the presence of mind to calmly use his feet.

Brakeless down a big hill isn't as bad as OP makes it sound... Just do continuous wide loops all the way down, and make the turn at the bottom. Seeing as how you posted this, i would imagine you handled it just fine.

a bike doesn't need breaks, I always took the brakes of my bike when I had one, next time, put ur foot between the tire and the bike frame where ur back brakes are and push in, stops pretty quick :p BTW, FYL hahah

Wow, you always took the breaks off your bikes? Sounds like natural selection somehow missed you. Don't worry, you seem like you're willing to give it another chance.

Darn it didn't mean to put break i meant brake. Serves me right for trying to type fast.

I don't think the speed of your typing had anything to do with you using the wrong "break/brake."
