Shifters out of wack. That’s the title, and that’s what happened. Got on the bike at 4 AM, made it less than a mile, and the derailleur was fighting me the whole way. Gears slipping, chain grinding, that specific mechanical stubbornness that tells you to turn around or push through and break something.
I turned around. 0.93 miles, four minutes, done. Mono Inc. playing β “An klaren Tagen” and “From The Ashes.” German industrial rock for a failed ride feels appropriately dramatic.
Sometimes the bike says no and you listen. Knowing when to quit isn’t quitting. It’s maintenance.
