Well, actually not so much fell off as snapped. There I was turning right out of Sidgwick Ave into Grange Road this morning and as I set off, there was a jerk and I ended up stood on the road forward of the saddle. I thought, `oh it can't quite have changed down properly before I stopped' even though when that's happened before it's not been quite so violent, so I waddle to the side of the road (being somewhat aware that I'd been nipping out in quite a small gap.* When I get there I get back on the saddle and pedal. The pedals spin freely and I look down to see no chain. It is lying in the road. I retrieve it and start walking back to college. As I get to West Road I realise that it makes more sense to leave the bike at the Fac and get the bus out to Madingley Road rather than walking the bike to and fro.

It was hassle I could have done without thought. I was already losing a bit of work time going to speak to the chaplain and with all that (which included taking the bike into town when I got back) it was 11:30 before I started work!

*I've just realised the road works had gone.
