I need a bike icon

My trusty stead broke a spoke this morning - my riding buddy noticed a wiggle in my rear wheel, and I noticed something squeaking. It was probably the wheel wall against the brake pad, since losing a spoke makes your wheel wobble side to side more than it should. When I checked, the spoke pulled free on the hub end, so now it's not safe to ride.

I'm debating using this as a chance to get my bike tune up in early - I usually do an annual one around the end of November, before they start salting and sanding the roads. And certainly there's some wear on the rear wheel that could stand to be handled or replaced. Brake pads, too.

But, yeah, this turned my sleepy morning a little more complicated.
