There’s nothing worse than getting up from a bike crash and rushing over to your beloved rig, only to discover that your carelessness has given it a rather unfavourable disfigurement.
Whether it’s something easily replaceable like a snapped chain or a punctured tyre or a slightly more serious frame break or fork problem, it’s never a good moment. Especially if you’re one of those over-zealous cyclists that’ve printed out a year-long calender with the same picture of your bike pasted under every month.
