This morning as I was on may way to to the store before work, I got to Conneticut and Northwest and .(This being my lucky corner) my chain failed. This is only 2-3 blocks from my house, so like the time it was 18F outside when my freehub died at the same intersection, I was able to quickly walk the bike home.

However, I was not prepared: I was not carrying a chain tool on me. It took about 20 minutes to repair, and I oiled the chain while I was at it…but if I was on the side of Northwest, this would have been much more difficult.
