Stronger cranks and chain rings are in order...

I went for a ride with Stephen today. We made our way along the river and ended up at Bow cycle, where I scoped out a new cyclocross bike for a bit. On my way home, coming down a pathway to 19th st, I was slowing down by resisting the pedal rotation, and my crank turned into a marshmallow. The arms that hold onto the chain ring tore off and the chain ring bent and then broke. I'm glad that it bent in toward the frame (there are some significant gouges in the frame) instead of out toward my leg. I also glad that it didn't do it when I was riding up hospital hill. Fortunately I wasn't going to fast.

Pictures of the wreckage are in the gallery. I guess I'll have to find a new bike until I can get new cranks, chain rings, and bottom bracket. That bike needs different wheels too. I guess I'm taking the bus next week.
