I think I understood what you were saying but it sounds pretty dangerous, especially with non-cyclist who will probably use their rollerblade to go between the spokes if I tried something like this.
I am glad that it's over with. I still have the scratches on the brifters so I'll make sure and remind myself to be a bit more cautious(maybe for a week or two
)
