As for the derailleur; it can get frozen in place. I've had it before where I'm effectively riding single-speed and stuck in my pedals. Single-speed solves this problem completely and can be a great choice for your about-town beater. You might want to adjust your derailleurs if you were pulling on them like that as you might have stretched your derailleur cable which would affect your shifting.
Single speed until the pawls freeze and you're just spinning and not moving forward. Best to run fixed gear for ultimate reliability
