broken spoke advice needed

[Vern]

I've been trying to ride to work as much as possible in may. I noticed on my way home that I have a broken spoke on my rear wheel. Can I keep riding till the weekend and try to get it fixed then ?? or should I not risk and take the car until it is fixed.

You should be fine, here's my recent experience with broken spokes. Take a VERY SMALL zip tie (or twist tie) and attach the broken one to the cross spoke at the cross, cutting off the tail. Or remove broken spoke altogether. Just fix as soon as possible.

If the wheel is still spinning true you're fine until the weekend You should have a 36 spoke wheel

Lots of bikes have missing spokes, you'll be fine.
