One of those days
I must suck at front derailleur adjustment, because this happens to me a lot. But I don't mind, because putting the chain back on is easy for me. Maybe if I minded more, I would work harder at preventing it.

But how in the world did you deal with your flat tire in that temperature? That sounds very difficult.
