Camping Tip: How to put on a bicycle chain that has fallen off
VideoJug: How To Put On A Bicycle Chain
Gotta have wheels. Exploring the campground, biking to the camp store for last-minute supplies, racing hard against the wind, bicycling along the sweet-smelling creek, those are part of many happy camping memories.
If your bike chain comes off at camp,
Don't let a derailed bicycle chain spoil your camping fun
Watch the video above for a quick tutorial on putting your chain back. I would add two more tips to the video:
- Retighten the wheel nut after removing the jammed chain
- The procedure is quite greasy. Since rubber gloves are not quickly accessible at campgrounds, I prepare a roll of paper towels or wet wipes.
Kids gotta have wheels too. Don't leave their wheels behind when you go camping.

A budget rack that holds its own
Not as tough as the Allen above but good enough for camping trips. And I love that it takes less than 10 minutes to take it out of the box and install it. Great the infrequent camper on a budget who have spent all her money on tents and sleeping bags |

Reclaiming a stolen bike is harder than putting a bike chain back on.
For camping, I like this better than the U-lock because it's more flexible, I can tie it around trees or picnic tables. What I like most of all is that it fits into the bag behind the bike seat . That means I don't have to pack it separately and hunt for it among my camping items when I need it. the U-lock is more indestructible but locks really work as deterrents anyway. |
