New teeth 😁 explore 11.9.17 - a photo on Flickriver

            Friday saw me trying to muster the courage to go out on my bike between those nasty squally showers that we had ( I know that I should not complain about some heavy rain and light winds while parts of America are being truly battered by the hurricane season). There was a dry patch and so out I went. 
The plan was up towards Pontypridd ( a town about 8 miles North of Cardiff) then drop back down and get to Cowbridge an overall distance of about 35 miles. I had only gone a couple of miles when, after having changed down a gear to turn right on an uphill bend I heard the most awful crunching noise. On looking down I saw the chain wrapped around the front cogs. Thankfully I was only 2 miles from home and most of that downhill too. 
Plans changed and down I went to the local bike shop, the advice was new teeth and chain. 24 hours later I was back out  for a shortened version of the planned route the previous day, but not before I had taken advantage of photo opportunity that presented itself, the whole mechanism will never be this clean again! 
It's an example of what's needed to drive the bike forward from the power generated by the cyclists legs - I never was much good at physics in school!
