Really proud of myself! (Add yours!)

[Tropical Scream]

I'm feeling pleased with myself although it's probably for odd reasons.

Today my derailer snapped off and went into my wheel.

I calmly stopped on a dime, unclipped flawlessly and didn't even break a spoke. Bike shop says that it was probably bent from last week's two lay downs in one ride. He showed me what to check next time. I told him not to worry, if I go down I'll fall left.

The only PITA part was the blister I got from walking home. I'm happy, though. It could have been a lot worse.

Now I'm just waiting to find out if they can just replace just the hanger or if more needs to be replaced.

P.S. - My bike shop just called and said that my bike is all fixed, turned up and ready to go for $60. I think I'm in love.
