I've never come to this thread, mainly because my daily commute is generally unremarkable, just 20-25 minutes on Los Angeles streets. It's not bad once you get used to it.
But, today I broke a spoke! Did my usual hammer up a little incline, and as I leveled out I noticed an occasional clicking from my rear wheel. At first I thought I picked up something on the street, and it went away after 20 feet, but then came back in the next block. Sure enough, I'd snapped a spoke. Untangled it, and mellowed out for the rest of the way. I usually ride as fast and hard as I can.
So, two things: One is that I arrived at work much less sweaty and hot than I usually am. I didn't even feel like I needed to paper-towel off.
Second thing is that I encountered an e-biker on the way, and was annoyed that my bike wasn't in condition to try and draft him. At least he acknowledged me at the lights.
Along with losing my wallet and blowing my wife's birthday, kind of topped off the week.

I'm not the OP, but there's a hint in the picture. Three words, and you can locate it pretty quickly. I really should have been a detective or something.
