but there is no wish to write anything today

sorry

Later, look at the sons bicycle in the passageway, test the brakes.

Nothing. Nearly nothing at all. And yet he had spent an hour the day before yesterday trying to fix them. Then he had driven off anyway. Complete with his non braking brakes.

Get a spanner, and adjust them. They are set at the wrong angle, and he did not reset the cable adjusters before adjusting the brake cable lengths. Fiddle about with a spanner and an Allen key until both the front brake and the rear brake can be locked at will.

Later on, tell the son that his brakes work now, just so that he does not put himself over the handlebars on his next journey.

Perhaps he should have asked his father for help the day before yesterday instead of sending him away. The brakes should be safe now.
