!@!#%$@!!!

Dammitall the "Ferrari" is back in the shop.

I was riding to work and got about a mile and a half down the road when all of a sudden there was a big *CLUNK*, and I almost endoed over the handlebars. This was immediately followed by some frantic beeping and then the computer went dark.

I spent 5 minutes alternately looking at my watch (was hoping not to miss the bus) and doing the usual dozen tricks that will usually unwedge the system.

Then I got a really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach when I realized that the back wheel was barely moving, even with the electrical system completely disabled. The regenerative system was locked in place. Now I couldn't even ride it like a normal bike, and after cursing mightily for a few minutes, sadly started pushing/half carrying the stupid (and very heavy) bike all the way home. In cycling shoes.

I am _bitter_
