RE: My Most Unlucky Day On A Bike!
Hahaha. Shit like this frequently happens to my riding buddies when we are out riding together. It's as if i am bad luck for them!
One time the threads on the pedal got destroyed and the clipped in pedal was stuck to my friends shoe rather than the crank!
On another occasion the rear hub conked from within and no matter how hard you pedalled, you would be standing still!
Once the tubeless prssta valve broke off leaving us with an unrepairable flat.
I can go on and on with the mechanical failures of my many friends. But the most important thing is to get back on the bike and ride...
Shit yeh these things happen! A couple of those sound quite funny, although for your friends maybe not so much haha. I've been quite lucky so far with things like that. The worst before this is just probably getting a puncture in 4 different countries over a 6 day long cycling trip, though it was my fault for using racing tyres on a cycle tour!
Racing tyres on a tour. Sounds like a recipe for adventure! Have you blogged about it anywhere?
No I didn't blog about it actually. We were riding quite hard so I didn't really get much opportunity to stop for photos, plus I needed to make my battery last. Next time I go I will try to get some blogs written though!
