So it turns out that something like 40cm of that cord that got caught in my rear gear assembly last night in the rain storm was still inside the mechanism, trapped between the gears and the wheel. No wonder the thing wasn't running. Happily, I live near one of the better bicycle repair shops in Toronto (Cycle Solutions on Kingston Road; their sales staff are a different matter but the repair shop is excellent), and they fixed it for $7.
And now, we're off to pick up Mari's parents at the airport for a five week visit!!
