Won't Be on the Road for a While

Posted by pdxrider on 12 May 2015 in English.

Recently, my bike had some problems. After one is fixed, another one pops up. Last night, my bike’s rear wheel locked up while I was riding it on NE 78th Street in Hazel Dell. As a result, I couldn’t pedal anymore. I had to walk for a long time (about 30 minutes) before I came home. Currently, my parents are checking out the problem on my bike. I don’t own a car, so I can’t do the work I want to do for OSM because the destinations I want are far away. (Sure, I do have a C-TRAN 10-ride punch card, but I don’t want to waste it all). I’ll still be doing some projects that are closer to my home. Until me bike is fixed, I won’t be on the road for a while.

Sounds like your chain is stuck between your frame and your wheel, and you can just pop the wheel out and back in. Don’t forget to fasten the quick release levers, and read up on how to adjust a derailleur if it happens again.

An update: since the bike I used was a small one, my dad gave me a larger one. Since I have a working bike now, I’m continuing my other projects on OSM.
