This was in the middle of a road about to turn right, luckily only a quiet residential street. The person at a house nearby called out to check I was OK which was nice - I may have made an exclamation expressing my disappointment in the drive train that made her look around.
Lucky! I've only had it once, and for sure it was when I was pedalling with quite a lot of force. Soon as I felt the resistance go I stopped pedalling immediately and somehow the chain went back on its own accord.
It scares the heck out of you.
Today was cold and very windy. Saw one lady riding a bike, along with her dog on a leash have a small stack. Checked that she was okay and no was harm done, fortunately.
Going by the temperature at the moment. I'm unsure if I'll ride tomorrow.
