Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

Chain came off on my ride to the station! Surprisingly hard to get it back on, in the dark, with the three speed hub and a chain guard (not a full chain case). Dirty fingers FTW! I did not miss my train.

Here in the city, a pedestrian stepped out into the bike path right in front of me, on my citibike, and I discovered the bell didn't work. I whizzed past him without warning, probably better that way, but I prefer to give a cheerful "ding ding" if I can. A couple blocks later the bell fell off the bike completely, and I heard it go ding ding ding ding dink as it rolled under a parked car somewhere behind me. I repressed the momentary compulsion to go back and look for it.
