Were you shifting when the chain broke, or just powering along? City riding is great, probably the closest thing to combat any of us will ever experience. When done with just the right level of animal aggression, you don't even need to think, just react.

Curious though, did you just leave the chain in the street? That would have been the macho thing to do.
