The Broken Bike Chain
On a sunny Saturday morning, Aisha pedaled her bike toward Miller's Creek Trail to meet her cousins for a ride. Halfway there, her bike chain slipped off and got stuck between the gears.
Aisha tried to push the chain back on with her fingers, but it wouldn't budge, and her hands were covered in grease. She was worried she would miss the whole ride.
A neighbor walking his dog noticed Aisha struggling and showed her how to shift the pedal gently while guiding the chain back into place. With the bike fixed, Aisha thanked him and pedaled off to catch up with her cousins.
