I had been looking for a bike to get around my local city and managed to snag a Huffy cruiser for $50. It is in decent shape with only some superficial rust on the pedals. This will be a big learning experience for me as I haven’t ridden a bike for nine years. I’ll both learn how to use a bike to run errands and how to do some of my own maintenance. Maybe even customize it a bit by adding a frame lock and a 3 speed gear hub. I guess we shall see how far I get in this learning and fitness quest.

    So the rear wheel on a bike I am riding has a spoke that broke, getting that fixed but it caused the chain to slip enough that it kicked around and stabbed the back of my calf. The bike is a Raliegh like an m20 or such? Any advice on making sure the chain won’t slip once the spoke is replaced (assuming the wheel is proper once replaced)
