Slipping Chain Solution
Have you ever experienced the frustration of your bike chain slipping off when you're changing gears? This seems to happen quite often while pedalling uphill. You can either stop, fiddle with your chain for a few moments or minutes, and inevitably end up with chain grease all over your hands OR you can try the following.
Get onto the opposite side of the road, shift into what would be your small ring at the front, point your bike downhill and push off. While you're coasting downhill, start gently pedalling and immediately shift into the big ring at the front. The slipped chain should pop back up where it belongs and your hands will stay clean!
