last night.

Last night I went to work at 3. by 5 I as in the ER with a co-worker.

It was no fun. But I bet it was less fun for him.

He was cleaning the chain on his fixed gear. (do I need to keep going? seems like you know how this will end.)

rag caught. finger caught. finger sucked into chainring/chain. Didn't get severed, but it was messed up. Finger looked like a trash can lid with the floor buttons to open the top. couple stitches and it was back to home for him, and work for me.

Remember! when cleaning a fixed drivetrain, move the rag. NOT THE CHAIN!

thats why fixed gears are not for hipsters.
