I made pretty good time on Friday. Overcast skies and a slight drizzle must've been the cause. I had finally gotten a rear rack and some other accessories, making the bike heavier, but I was still able to stay in only one gear. On the ride home, the wind was stiff I noticed the chain slipping when riding up hills. I almost killed myself when the chain slipped while I was off of the seat.

I got the bike home and noticed that the teeth on my favorite cogs were shiny and worn. Anybody have a crank set for a Cannondale 3.0 series mountain bike? I am amazed that the original parts lasted after almost sixteen years of abuse, but I really don't want to spend any more money on replacing parts right now (rent's gotta be paid first). Maybe I should spend the money to get one of those Dynamic bicycles. I hate dealing with grease and those fit the bill for easy maintenance. They are not cheap, but then again, I ride almost 130 miles each week just for transportation and need something reliable. Now that I sold the car, it's back to public transportation until I get the bike fixed. *sigh*
