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.

October 3, 2008 at 10:12 pmSounds like a Chain Pain! Ha!
Hope you got it all straightened out!

October 4, 2008 at 11:36 amThis 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.

October 4, 2008 at 12:02 pmI’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. 🙂

October 5, 2008 at 10:12 amI don’t know what a chain press but do get one. No more bike accidents in our family,
PLEASE.

I’m glad J was there to pick you up, because a four mile walk in bike shoes would have SUCKED!

October 12, 2008 at 9:04 pmI 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.
