Hello, I have a Viking Palmoa ladies bike and my chain flew off the other day - any idea which one I need as a replacement? Thanks so much!

When you say "flew off" - do you mean the chain broke/came apart or just that it came off the chainring?
Is your bike a single speed or geared?

It appears to be a single speed bike:

So if that's the case, have a look at the video below and you'll see you need a few tools plus your correctly sized chain... if you're missing the basic tools you may be better off dropping it in to a bike shop to have a new one put on.

1/8” single speed chain. Make sure it’s got a quick link to join it. You’ll also need a chain cutting tool. Measure the new one against the old by laying it side by side link for link.
