Along my ride today I had not one, but two, black cats cross my path. I thought "I'm not worried, I'm not the superstitious type."
Not too long after that, I stood up to accelerate at an intersection and heard that tell tale twang. No big deal. I wrapped it around its neighbor and made it home fine.

I can do most things to a bike. Wheels are out of the question. I am going to take it to the shop to have the spoke replaced and the wheel trued. Is it SOP that all spokes are properly tensioned when a wheel is trued, or should I ask for that? The last time I popped a spoke may years ago, I took the wheel in. Not too long after I got it back, I broke another. Is breaking one indicative that others may be in danger of breaking?
