Today, I decided to get some exercise for the first time in months. I went to the store and bought a brand new bicycle and all the necessary paraphernalia. I drove a half hour to a bike trail, unloaded the bike, and started riding. 10 feet later, the chain snapped. FML

at least it wasnt "i was riding a bike and my chain snapped right before a was able to stop at a cliff"

1. Disassemble your bike. 2. Reattach the handlebars to a wheel and screw the pedals to the wheel nuts. 3. Become "Boskov the Unicycle Master of the World". 4. Get a circus contract. 5. Use the money to buy yourself your own gym and hire a personal trainer. 6. Now become Boskov the strongest man alive. 7. Eat your unicycle to simultaneously become the toughest man alive. 8. Buy a condo in Florida and live happily ever after.

you do realize that even if your chain snaps, you still have brakes, right?

I kept expecting it to end with it being stolen. a chain can be repaired. Bike shops have no incentive to stop bike theft. restoring stolen wheels must be a huge percent of their business.

Athough your chain snapped, u could still brake AND simply put the chain back on in a minute?

Always keep tools in your car. A pair of pliers could have solved this. I realize it could have broken in such a way that you couldn't snap them back together, but usually that's not the case. Sorry it broke on you OP.

Or start out with equipment a bit sturdier...orrr buy a bike with speeds so you can shift down and not put that much strain on the chain, fatty.

Exactly. Why pay incredible and inane prices to get around when you already have a pair of legs? Also, buying new equipment isn't necessarily the greatest way to get in shape. It's the mindset and the habits that need to change more than anything.

If OP did not have a bike before, buying a bike sounds pretty reasonable since biking is easier on some joints than running ...

I would say if it's their first time exercising in months, going out somewhere to bike would be a poor decision. You have to build your body up and practice, because biking somewhere like a trail with no previous experience beforehand would cause your muscles to ache within minutes. Such a pain would probably discourage the OP from exercising again for quite a while, only putting them further back.

#3 your eyes look drawn, no offence if your a person that takes offence in everything lol
