The first thing I'd check is to make sure that your brakes are functioning properly. If could be that the back shoe is stuck. Does this happen with all of your brakes or just one of them? Try checking all of the springs and connections to make sure that the shoes can move freely. If this doesn't fix your problem let me know and I can help you troubleshoot further.
