Public transit is essentially $3 a day for me if I take the bus and
train. I just paid $20 to get a spoke replaced. There goes a week of
commuting. I think I should be able to handle a broken spoke, except
they're always the drive side of the rear wheel. I need to learn how
to use a chain whip to get the cassette off. I'll do it next time.
