I broke my bike again. This time (and all the times) it turned out to be completely my fault. I put the washer that sits between the crank arm and the sprocket the wrong way around. Which meant that the locator nut was taking all of the pressure. So of course it broke. Luckily it happened whilst training and not during a show. Thank goodness!
A lesson in pursuing a passion, sheer perseverance, and unimaginable possibilities.
