I rode down the south side of Queen Anne and soon was glad that I have brakes on my fixie. There was a steep block with rough bricks as surface. As I neared the end of the block the chain jumped off. I was going to be free falling through the intersection, but grabbed the brakes and brought everything to a halt.
I put the chain back on, adjusted tension, and continued down the hill to Kidd Valley for a burger and chocolate milkshake.
Part of my new plan was to get some fizzy denture cleaner. No, I don't have dentures, but the product does wonders for cleaning the gunk out of bike bottles. I continued down Queen Anne Ave to Elliot Ave then 15th to Nickerson. I knew that I could find the fizzy stuff at Fred Meyer so I rode across ship canal on the Fremont Bridge.
I used my "latte lock", ran into Freddy's, made my purchase, and was back out on the bike in a flash.
From here all I had to do was ride back along the ship canal, cross the Fremont Bridge again, then climb back up Queen Anne on a fixie. ;-)
I didn't make 700 monthly miles today, but there is always tomorrow.
Day 28 of #30daysofbiking is in the bag.
