took my road bike out today because it’s 70 degrees and sunny in santa monica. this bike is hella fast. yes!!!

a few blocks into my ride, i found out i can’t shift my front derailleur (i.e., the bike is stuck on the largest front cog). after inspection, it appears the metal holding the spring broke. this is metal we are talking about. it *broke*. noooooooooooo!!!

(trip not as long as i would have liked…) 5.09 miles / 26.48 mins / 11.2 avg mph
