Do these stories circulate to scare? im not trying to be rude, just seems like folks dont want people discovering how easy it is, haha
It'll happen when you're distracted. Probably when you see that hottie who sometimes shows up to the Tuesday night club ride. You'll ride over, say hi, and promptly plant your face on the pavement.
Enjoy!

I second that. I picked up a beater fixed gear a few years ago, started riding on flats to get used to it, then switched to clips/straps because I figured the hipster kids who ride with Vans sneakers must know something. Wrong. I quickly switched to clipless and it is way easier (eggbeaters FTW).
