ohhh boy I am sooo glad I immediately had my mushy front brake fixed!

Yesterday a %$#@ blind woman in a sedan looked right at me approaching and signalling for the left turn into her street (requiring me to cross in front of her)...and then pulled out to cross in front of my path.

I truly panic stopped but only with the front brake ... only going 15 mph or so...didnt get my foot to the rear brake....but I stopped on a dime and ended up an inch from her font bumper as she finally also panic stopped in middle of my road. If I hadnt had the brakes fixed I definitely would have hit her.

Whew....
