After an easy 30 minutes with the dog, I decided I'd ride the bike to work today. The singlespeed had a flat front tire, and after pumping it up I somehow tore the presta valve off. Oops. No spare tube around so I got the mountain bike off the shelf. I had been having issues with the rear derailleur, despite TWO trips to CS West to fix it (not that I'm angry about it), and about a block from the house as I was shifting the damn chain broke. Could have been head and shoulders above the hipsters by riding my new zerospeed, but instead I jumped in the truck and drove to work.
Shit like that never happens to runners.

We liberate the French 2x and they thank us with Presta valves...
Use your bike for the chainless downhill championships in CB.
What's up with the derailleur?
In an emergency, I carry a spare SRAM Power Link rather than mess with Shimano pins...but yeah, you'd still need to break off another link and it's a PITA to deal with before work.
