top tip: if you're going to tighten your bike chain at lunchtime, remember to also tighten the wheel nuts afterwards - otherwise your rear wheel could come off while you're going round a roundabout on your way home.

    Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals! Except the weasel

    many thanks for all of your kind words. :D

    in retrospect it was fairly amusing (now that my sack has stopped hurting) and fairly bloomin stupid. I ended up just looking a dick, but it could've been a lot worse - was in the middle of a big, busy roundabout and the bike just locked up. managed to not topple and wobbled over to a traffic island.

    i won't be quite so carefree about fettling in the future...

    I've been close to doing that. Saved only by noticing the rattling before getting on the bike.

    Better that than the noise of loud, rattling plumbs later!

    OP - I feel your pain.... not literally though!
