Sounds like a great excuse for upgrading both calipers.
It could be either an old
It could be either an old worn cable inner that’s snagging on the outer casing (or vice versa) or it could be the brake caliper getting a bit rusty etc.
If you disconnect the brake cable, see what happens when you squeeze and release the caliper manually – do both arms move easily and spring back? If so, then replace the brake cable inner, if not then either do a good dismantle/clean of the caliper or replace it with a nice new one.

A 24-year-old resident, who had been enjoying some drinks with her flatmate, was getting into bed when the crash happened.
She said: “There was just this huge impact. The whole building shook and there was a bang.
“My flatmate thought I had fallen out of bed. She came upstairs and I told her someone had driven into the building. She said, ‘Don’t be silly.’”
The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, lives on the second floor of the block.

I’ve already made some snarky comments about this survey on the Live Blog, so here, I’ll just point out that the very name “Fair Fuel UK” is implying that fuel tax is unfair.
Fuel tax is indeed unfair as it has been kept frozen for a significant period of time (too busy ranting – no time to check the facts) and it doesn’t take into account the external costs of just dumping the burnt products into the air for everyone to breathe in.

I don’t know about harder wearing, but Wiggle do their own (Prime brand) sets of pad:

I’ve been running a pair of the carbon pads on the front since earlier this year (the Shimano’s were out of stock) and they seem to work okay although they don’t have the cooling fins (which looks a bit off) and they’re a little bit juddery at low speed (i.e. coming to a stop).

It’s amazing how much of the
It’s amazing how much of the public roads are given over to free parking, even in this country. The problem is that we’ve all grown up with the expectation that we are entitled to park a vehicle for free.
I’d like to see more of the free parking moved over to paid-for parking. It’s cheap and easy enough to set up APNR cameras to function in the place of parking meters – they’d be cheaper to install and it’d be trivial to set up automatic billing of the car owners (no more running out every couple of hours to stuff coins in a meter). I’d imagine that on-street parking should be the most expensive as it’s most convenient for the driver, so there’d also be a need for cheaper multi-story car parks (e.g. NCP style).
As an aside, I wonder if there’d be much of a market for upmarket, paid-for cycle parking – covered, locked and manned – maybe even chuck in a shower cubicle too.
