I took myself out in the most elaborate way. I stopped for a break on a night ride, blew my nose and
placed the tissue on my rack to pack it into the saddle bag with the wrappers from my snacks once I was finished.
4km(!) later I got out of the saddle to go up a short ramp and then I don't know exactly how it happened but the chain came off, my foot came off the pedal and I somehow went over the bars.
I had forgotten to pack the tissue away and it managed to wedge itself into the lower jockey wheel and caused the chain to derail.
