I broke a spoke on my rear wheel on this mornings commute, I didn’t have a spare and I was still 20km from work so I just twisted it around another spoke and hoped for the best. Fortunately since the wheel has a high spoke count it stayed relatively true. So this afternoon I dropped into the closest of the city bike shops to pick up a spoke, this was not your regular chain store bike shop this store catered to the more elite cyclist, it was full of the more high end machines. It was like an exclusive designer house selling porn for cyclists! some bikes were worth more than my car! So I showed real restraint and ignored all the shiny machines and the latest bike bling and walked out with my $3 spokes. Maybe one day. . .
