Another one bites the dust….

So, just riding along, minding my own business, not a care in the world. And then some bugger comes along and spoils it all for me. This particular bugger was in the shape of a canvas bag that the farmers use on Santa Rosa where I happened to be riding at the time.

It was bike vs. bag. When farm appliances ATTACK! and this time it was the bike that suffered.

Here is my derailleur, after the event.



Yes, yes I know its all due to the power of my mighty legs….

So a quick single speed conversion later, I was on my way again. But much more wary of innocuous looking trail debris and a new found respect for the power of hesian.
