Shownotes Transcript

One of the ways a bicycle is propelled is by a chain. This means that when you pedal, the power applied is transferred from the pedals to the rear wheel by means of a chain, and this is how you move forward. Such a chain can become worn out over time and in the worst case it can break. With the help of a small tool, the distance between the links can be measured to determine whether the links are too far apart and need to be replaced or can be fixed. You can't necessarily see this with the naked eye - unless the chain is really sagging and no longer tight. For today, I invite you to observe yourself and look closely to see if there are areas where you are just sagging and would actually be glad for a break, to take time for an inspection, a tightening up in the form of rest. Allow yourself this - before it tears you apart as a result of overload!

I wish you an extraordinary day!
