Hey guys never posted here before. I was riding my bike the other day while my friends were walking. I was on first gear the whole time so I could keep at a steady pace with them. They were getting a bit ahead of me and I had to catch up. I started pedaling hard on first gear when I hear this noise in the back of my bike. The tire stopped turning and the rear derailleur was bent in to the spokes of the wheel. I was just wondering how on earth this happened. My family thinks that something crashed in to it but I assured them that nothing touched the bike. Just curious. Hope somebody can tell me!
