    I think sometimes if you pedal backwards, the chain will go back on.

    A little water bottle squirt on the dried up wipes and they are rejuvenated (if you are carrying any plain water).

    It does. Just take the pressure off the pedals and do it gently. Shift back to where you were originally. It happened to me a few days ago after shifting, has happened also while climbing.

    Chain grease on your hands... that's why the shorts should be black!

    I used to drop the chain and shift it back on in the same place on my old commute a couple times each week. When I got a new bike, I never dropped there anymore and I doubt that I could shift it back on. Seems like the work of small mischievous supernatural beings; maybe they just liked that purple aluminum frame.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
