10 minutes later... (yep, you know what happened!)
While I was cycling along the Brisbane River, I noticed that something was wrong.
My pedals started making a funny noise.
Then all of a sudden my bike stopped working.
I nearly fell off.
As I stopped to look at it, I realized the chain was stuck in the gears.
It was a new bike, which made it even more annoying!
For the next half an hour, I tried to pull the chain out of the gears.
But it was stuck.
So I had to walk home with my bike.
I was 'that guy' walking a bike along the pathway.
I'm sure people thought, "Mate, why not just ride the bike?"
The next morning, I got my toolbox and went downstairs to work on my bike.
Two hours later (yes, two hours!) I finally wiggled the chain out of the gears.
I was proud of myself. (I'm not a practical 'handyman' sort of guy)
I decided to take my fixed bike for a ride.
10 minutes later... (yep, you know what happened!)
The chain came undone again.
It was exactly the same problem. My chain was completely stuck in the gears.
I was furious.
There was no way I was going to spend more of my time trying to fix that bike.
I locked the bike to a pole, scootered home and drove back to pick up my bike.
I took it straight to the bike shop I bought it from.
The mechanic was fantastic. He put the bike up onto his machine so he could find the problem.
What do you think the problem was?
A broken frame on my new bike?
