I thought of that also. A few years ago I stopped to help a guy who was stuck by the side of the road on his bike. His front brake was locked up. I was about 1/4 of a mile from my house so I got some tools and went back. We bled-off his front brake and he could ride again. Her rode home using only his rear brake. I suspect the bleed hole (return fluid hole) in his master cylinder was plugged. That's one of the reasons I replace my brake fluid every spring.
