Cycling 44:00 [3] 6.9 mi (9.4 mph)
On today's attempt at exercise my rear derailleur (the thing that switches your gears) fell off of my bike. The hanger was slightly bent, probably from traveling back home, and I figured it would be ok and I'd just test it and see how bad the shifting was. It was kinda rough and making noises but not horrible by any means. That is until I switched my front gear and my derailleur literally ripped off my bike, broke the cable and bent my chain. My bike did not work after that and we were on the bike path on the way to Alexandria with no close exits or roads in sight (other than the highway). We decided it would be fastest to keep going south towards a marina and then we could order an Uber XL. Will pushed me while I balanced on Bikey-Bike and luckily the path was mostly flat and it worked out well.
I just wanted to go on a nice easy spin after yesterday, stay away from cars and get outside but NOOOOOO the gods are out to get me. Bikey-Bike will be out of commission for a week since I had to order all new parts :( sad. Oh and I think I lost my very expensive apartment key as well so I better find that today or I'll cry. :') Smile through the pain
