Went For A Ride With 2 Friends Yesterday

[Keith S.]

So yesterday me and 2 friends decided to go for a ride. It was gorgeous, and it was a good ride, some hills but nothing too bad for any of us (who are all novices). Anyway, about 3/4 of the way though our ride, the crank arm on the left side of my bike fell off! Just all of a sudden... I got off screwed it back in, but had to keep fixing it my whole way home. I'm so happy that I got this bike for free from my brother's friend. Anyway, just thought I'd share my funny story. Although, not funny at the time.

Thats not unheard of. It's much worse, when you have driven 1:30 to get to a trail, the arm comes off in the middle of your run, and you loose the bolt. I know a couple of people that has happened to.

You can crank those bolts down really hard. Don't be shy....and make sure you got the right size tool so you don't strip it.

Went again today. Felt great, although all the stopping to tighten my crank is annoying. I wanted to get a new bike anyway, but I think this will push that up a little bit...
