Tonight’s plans were slightly upset when this happened:

Rear wheel of a bike with a trailing bike chain.
Aww snap

As I was trying to cycle onto and around a roundabout, my chain snapped leaving me effectively standing in the middle of a busy junction. What was worse was that there was no pedestrian pavement at that part of the road, just a metal fence.

Lucky no cars hit me and I managed to walk to a safe location. Then came the fun task of working out how to get myself and the kids home without a working bike.
