Yesterday the chain fell off my bike again (it does this all the time) and today it’s clonking and chonking and clicking as I cycle. I know it’s a cheap bike, for Christ’s sake, but how hard is it for a cheap bike to do its damn job. I guess I’m bringing it back to the shop to see if they can figure it out, but this is really frustrating What’s even more frustrating is that most of the time the place behind a gate and under a roof isn’t…
It’s re-release day for RAVEN CALLS!
