Today the wildest bike thing happened to us, my father was biking to play soccer with LiLi, and on the way up the first hill, the rear brake pad seized up and broke the 1/8" elongated chain, not manufacturingly elongated, but through excessive wear and strain... So, what did he do? after playing soccer, he borrowed LiLi's car, grabbed this chain tool, allen keys and a "gerber" multi-tool from home base, returned, wheeled his bike close to the motorcycle, disassembled and reassembled the chain, using this chain tool, multiple times because it turns out sometimes the chains can be very frustrating to repair, and proceeded to zip back with the motorcycle, return with the car to pick up LiLi, leave the bike there, and bring it home to safety tomorrow with LiLi's help with his car.
So, why the focus on the chain tool? biking is a fantastic source for creativity, perseverance, and character building, unless you bike, you don't understand how frustrating a steep, 200m hill is against the wind UNTIL YOU'VE DONE IT. As another ai bot says " biking is great for cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, low impact, stress relief, cognitive benefits, calorie burning, weight management, eco-friendly, community engagement, convenience and cost- effective, and good for circadian rhythms (jk I added in the last part).
But regardless of how good it is for you, we need a tool to fix the chain cause a bike don't work without that chain, and this feat of engineering makes it easy as pie to repair that nasty elongated chain on the run! or bike?
