best and scariest 7.5 miles I've ridden in a while !

about half way through, my chain flew off of the rear cog.

I thought i was gonna start riding a wheelie for a second then I realized i was spinning like a madman ! LOL

Anyway, lucky for me I carry a 15mm box end wrench with me... thats all It took to loosen the rear hub and get the chain back on and tighter than before. Strange thing is that I had this thing on as tight as possible !

Anyway, I suppose I should upgrade my multi-gear cog to a fixed gear specific cog soon... the cog has these kind of angles on each blade that I think was part of the reason it came off + riding hard through bumpy sidewalks to avoid insane traffic on us-1.

So there it is. Made it alive once again !
