Something’s gone wrong lately … one by one, my cycling gear is failing or not holding up to the load.
Last week’s parade of failures:
- started with the broken derailleur jockey wheel on my winter/wet weather bike
- quickly followed by a cracked rear wheel rim on the same bike
- the velcro on my right cycling shoe is also done — I need new shoes

Surprisingly, I could still ride in aero position fairly well — you just hold on to the one remaining extension with both hands. Could almost become a new trend 😉
So two out of three bikes are broken. I’m curious what breaks next …. Stay tuned …
