Last night as I was putting the commuter up on the rack I noticed a broken spoke on the rear wheel. The wheel had stayed pretty true, so I didn't notice any rubbing and there wasn't any creaking from the rim. And then I noticed a second broken spoke, right next to it. And then a third!

It's rare that I break spokes at all. To break three in a single day is off the chart. Now that I think about it, there's a lot of debris in the streets including lots of sticks and branches. I wonder if one of them flipped into my rear wheel and popped those three.

So this morning I had to ride the "A" bike. Boo hoo for me.
