Walked out of a bar a few days ago to find this. As a former bike mechanic, I can tell you that spokes don’t just snap in the middle of the spoke. Especially when the bike is parked. Listen hookers, this isn’t like slashing tires. We can’t just go to Pep Boys, play on our iPhone for 30 minutes and be on our way. No, we have to drag our bikes home, leave it in the garage for 4 months until we get the motivation to fix it and use our roommate’s less-fun bike for a few months without him knowing about it. Fuck, now he knows.

“we have to drag our bikes home, leave it in the garage for 4 months until we get the motivation to fix it and use our roommate’s less-fun bike for a few months without him knowing about it.”
Last time my bike got fucked with it took me almost 2 years to get it back and running. Good thing I ain’t got no fixie!
I actually had a spoke break like that on my while my bike was sitting in my hallway. I heard a *PONG* and couldn’t figure out what it was. An hour later when I went to hop on my bike, I found a broken spoke flopping around. It was my second broken spoke on that wheel. I took it to Pedal Revolution and the good fella there said it looked like they sold me a wheel with bad spokes, and he replaced the wheel for me, free of charge. Yay for Pedal Revolution.
