I doubt this was a steel bike

This guy works just a few blocks from my shop. I'll be curious to see if any details emerge, but it SOUNDS like a case of chain suck causing a rear triangle to break off (or vice versa). I'm guessing he wasn't on a Bombadil or LHT!

Ouch! Damn!

Well good for him anyway!   Jim, I'm sure that you can fix him up with a suitable replacement.

[Peter Morgano]

I dunno, call me a quitter but I would have packed it in rather than going crazy looking for any bike you can find to finish a voluntary ride.  Then again I think STRAVA is pretty silly too, but to each his own. He should keep a spare set of rollerblades to finish next time, haha.

Well, he only had a little way left to go...but I know how shaken up I would have been upon looking down and seeing only half a bike underneath me!

Just don't propagate the falsehood that it can't be fixed!  :)

[Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery]

Don't worry William. I'm actually of the opinion that (most of the time) steel bikes can't be fixed either, at least not in an economical, sensible way.

[Joe Bernard]

Steel bikes aren't known to snap in two when they drop a chain.
