Safety first etc. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19410#post-299765 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 21:08:26 +0000 gembo 299765@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sorry to hear this @mandopicker101. Hope you are ok. Perhaps your chain was being held together by dirt and grime? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19410#post-299759 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 18:33:21 +0000 Mandopicker101 299759@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks to the Glasgow taxi driver and two random passers by who stopped to see if I was ok following my rather spectacular crash this evening (chain snapped just as I was moving away from a junction). No serious damage to bike or rider although my hip and shin are definitely a little discombobulated. Consolation prize is my jacket contains zero holes despite a sudden impact on Argyle Street tarmac.</p> <p>There was me feeling pleased at having spotlessly cleaned the drivetrain yesterday (active ingredient 'Nitric Acid' maybe?).. </p>
