Broken break wires on the bike, as well as frozen breaking wires, or going downhill on summer tires on ice ... yeah, I do have quite some horror stories on that as well. In Tromsø we had a steep downhill to get either downtown or to the school, today in Oslo we have a steep downhill to get home from school or the transport, it's amazing I haven't had any real bad accident.

My last accident was here in Oslo, I always used both breaks down the downhill, and I didn't notice until it was too late that the breaks had become too worn out, so one day the bike was just accelerating down the hill despite me breaking as hard as I could. I couldn't make the turn and was flying right into our local forest, my son laughing hard of me.
