Damn sticks! Sheared derailleur!

Cold morning tooling along on the Reformatory Branch Trail and stick jumped into the rear jockey wheel. I didn’t know this: all I could feel is that the chain won’t move while riding. When I stopped, the derailleur had wrench led around to the top of the hub and was facing almost backwards. Managed to get the stick out but the jockey wheels were not in the vertical plane. When I tried the bend the derailleur back to vertical, the rear derailleur sheared off. Crap!

Thankfully my good fried Jim came to the rescue and aborted his ride, provided coffee, and will drive in instead. I’m going to have to get him a fruit basket or something.
