I have done a couple last week and this week I have done 5.5 - on the bike that is! The way TO school is really tough, as slow steady up all the way, but coming home is a breeze! Today tho, disaster struck! My chain, in mid gear change, somehow managed to lodge itself very firmly BETWEEN the cogs on the bike, and I cannot get the flippin' thing out! I stood and tugged for about five minutes, and then had to abandon the thing so I could go and get Jack from preschool on foot! And yes, as a reward for being heavy, cumbersome, and now unreliable my bike will hence forth be UN-affectionately named 'the thing'.
I have now managed to recover the bike from its lonely roadside resting place, and bought it home on the car to have another go. 20 minutes and several screwdrivers / implements later and still no luck!
Darn!
Just as I am getting into the habit of leaping on and off the thing every time I need to leave the house it packs up on me! How typical is that?
So, anyone know any magic words?....
