Saw the perfect example of a possible Darwin award winner last night.
I caught up with a fellow going down a hill on my commute home last night, noticed that he was riding a cheap and nasty, two for £99 full susser with no lights so took some care not to go too near. Then realised his rear brakes were disconnected and to brake he was reaching back, grabbing one arm of his v-brake and shoving it against the wheel. He did this a couple of times then tried it again, unfortunately his expertise let him down and he must have shoved his fingers into the wheel, he let out a bit of a scream swerved into the kerb and went flying head first into the pavement.
I possibly should have checked he wasn't dead but to be honest was too busy laughing at the 'tard. Felt bad about it when i got home though...
