Trying to get a little exercise in today, and ran into a snag: my bike chain came off, flipped, and twisted around. Thank goodness Julie is home so she can pick me or else it would be a four mile “Walk of shame” in my bike shoes. I’m blogging from my phone as I wait for Julie, so here’s a pic of the offending chain.

Get a chain press. It will save you a big headache untangling that mess. They are about $15.
Sounds like a Chain Pain! Ha!
Hope you got it all straightened out!
Darn!At least you didn’t hurt yourself.
This has happened too many times. So, I just took my bike in to get a tune up — which it has never had. I hope that helps.
I’ve never heard of a chain press. If the tune up doesn’t help, maybe that’s a good investment.
I’m glad you didn’t have to walk home. And I’ll echo shelliza and say I’m glad you didn’t get hurt. 🙂
I don’t know what a chain press but do get one. No more bike accidents in our family,
PLEASE.
Ugh!
I’m glad J was there to pick you up, because a four mile walk in bike shoes would have SUCKED!
You look pretty sna-zzie on your bike yesterday.
I think I discovered your problem! There are no pedals on your bike… only stubs! Oh wait… maybe I’m out of touch… I’m still riding the $60 mountain bike I bought at Walmart 13 years ago.
