Difficulty: White Belt and above MODEL: I need to get my bike worked on…The chain on my bike has been slipping while riding it.

It’s one of those things that just slipped my mind until it was time to ride my bike and feel the slipping again. Besides that, I hadn’t had much time to take it to the shop. Last week, one of my classes was cancelled, so I had some extra time, so I finally decided to go to the bike shop to ask about the problem and get an estimate for the repair.
