is there such a thing as bad bicycle karma?
If so, I think I have it. A few days ago, my pants got caught in my gear chain and all kinds of fucked things up. Luckily, the 2nd gear (front) still worked so I could ride home. Dave said it'd be fine to ride it anyway until he could take a look at it so I went for a ride this morning when suddenly CLINK-CLICK the gear chain has FAILED and fallen OFF. So I stop to put it back on and go to ride away (and now, btw, the shifting is even WORSE) when I look down and notice that...omg, the front tire is flat. I stop to squeeze the front tire. Yup. Squish squish. On a hunch, I also squeeze the back tire. Squish squish.
FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKK.
I'm not touching it again until I can get someone to inspect it. I'm absolutely certain this is not my fault, but it probably is. What the fuck do I know? All my knowledge of bicycle mechanics is derived from furrowing my eyebrows and guessing.
So I suppose I'll just have to suck it up and go to the gym for the next couple months. gah
Time to take a midterm.
