It doesn't happen often, but if it did, and you're by yourselves, how many in this group would have to call for help to be able to finish the ride or just to get back home?

I'm volunteering to give a little class to the group to show how to use the chain tool to add and remove links and to close back a chain. We could do this just before one of our regular rides and it would take no more than 15 minutes or so.
