Mei takes her bicycle to a repair shop because the front brake makes a strange noise. She explains the problem and shows the mechanic where the sound comes from. He examines the wheel and checks the brake carefully. Mei waits nearby while he makes a small adjustment. Then he asks her to test the bicycle outside. She rides slowly across the parking lot and stops several times. The brake works smoothly, and the noise disappears. Mei returns to the shop and pays for the repair. Before she leaves, the mechanic shows her a simple way to check the brakes at home.
