I wonder how he/she got home.
On yesterday's commute I saw a bike chain in the middle of the trail. I stopped to get it off the trail. Comparing it to my chain it was either a 9 or 10 and long enough for a bike with rear derailleur. So, I'm wondering how he/she got home. I'm guessing there aren't many who carry a spare. I also wonder why it was left on the road. Granted it was on a section that was a slight downhill. But surely no one would snap a chain, have it come completely off and not know - would they?

chains are oily and nasty. Someone needs to invent an 'air chain'.

It would create quite the opportunity to work on your spin.

Cycle Year Round
I carry a spare chain when touring.
Mountain biking, I have three links and a quick link. That saved me a long walk out once.

They could have used the bike like a razor scooter and kicked it along the street. I got to work that way one morning when the bottom bracket bearing race popped out.

Tacky leaving parts on the trail. Good on you for removing it.
