De-railed

Decided I wanted a relaxing short ride, so parked at my 3 mile ride location. Got less than 1 mile from car, when this happened:



Wheel would not turn, because derailler was loose enough to get into spokes. Used the strap from the toe clip to pull back the derailler, lowered the seat, and rode the bike as a strider back to the car.

Anyone got a Shimano Altus derailler? I might end up looking to replace the bike; the frame is a little small for me, but I have enjoyed riding this for the past few years.
