Comment on Every part on a bicycle is safety critical

Can confirm: my chain snapped cycling along Princes Street, and I couldn't wear trousers for about ten years. Turns out that sliding down the road isn't very good for the skin on your knee.

Most frustratingly: I'd already ordered a replacement, it just hadn't arrived yet.

Do you have an idea what happened? Was it a "factory" failure that you couldn't have seen coming, or was it due to something like the chain being very old and worn out?

The tram track situation on princes street was outrageous.
