I also think the pin on my chain is not put in correctly. Is it still safe to ride?
Like the others, I can't see the attachment.
Assuming one is near by, I'd suggest going to a bike shop. Any mechanic will be able to answer your questions on the spot ... and fix any problems. This is also a really good way of getting to know a local shop.
