I once did this to a shitty aluminium frame.

That doesn’t unlock an achievements. That deserves an award.

Depends on how far away from your house you are. Your achievement ranges from "almost got me" to "long walk home".

The one leg peddle all the way home is the real achievement.

I did this on a cheap mountian bike once. It was a looooong walk home. At least it was a nice day out.

I'm guessing... Walmart bike. Was I correct?

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

More or less.

In keeping with the n+1 rule, clearly the only way to handle this is with an entirely new bike. Lol.
