Argh

I just learned two things:

1. Spending $150 on bike work, then 5 miles later having the chain jam, shearing off the rear derailleur, is really annoying.


2. Evening when getting pushed home in ignominy, recumbents still get admiring comments from random strangers.


3. Edited to add: Being enrolled for SCUBA classes later this month makes me very happy.

Or you could get a couple Tayo or similar connectors and put them in the chain about 8 links apart and then you wouldn't even have to carry a chain tool.

It's a good idea, and I wished at the time that it was possible. (Though I also would have needed tools to remove the broken derailleur bit.)
