Seems like I'm the incredible hulk on a bike :cry:
A few weeks ago I managed not only to bend my derallythingmy but to bend the frame too on poor Gonzales the ice bike.
Today the rear wheel axle on Boris snapped in half :eek: at a busy junction.
Just as well it happened walking distance from Katy the incredibly skilled bike mechanic.
Still, could have done without the fright and the expenses.
Buahhhh ... I'm away to drink a gallon of coffee ... and nobody @potsy dare make comments other than sympathetic.
 
Hulk............don't you mean with all the wild weather you have been doing the same as me and you are more like the Incredible Bulk:whistle:

Don't forget the Haagen Dazs Ice Cream and a spoon.

Although in all seriousness, I do hope they get repaired!
Any ideas what actually caused the failures?
Got it repaired, pushed the bike to LBS. It was metal fatigue, must have worked poor Boris too hard.
What I have learned today: inspect (or get somebody in the know to do this) your hubs every 6 months or so.

Blimey! Sounds like a rough week.

When I have PMT I am generally very clumsy, on the bike this manifests itself by me crashing into bollards, falling off when stationary etc. Havent managed to break anything as a result yet though.
