My bike chain snapped halfway across the bridge during yesterday's downpour

I was biking home through the rain in Portland when the chain just gave out right at the middle of the Steel Bridge, no shoulder or anything. Had to walk the bike a mile and a half to the nearest shop, soaked and covered in grease. Anyone else ever have a major breakdown at the worst possible spot and how did you handle it?

Totally sounds like life's way of testing your patience right when you least expect it.

Feel you on this one. It always hits when you've got zero mental bandwidth left for it.

Bet you weren't expecting the universe to test you ON A TUESDAY, @sarah_mason.
