As I was powering through the intersection at Foster and California this morning, something happened to me that's never happened before!!

The right pant cuff of my Cannondale pants (the ones with the zipper-short thingys and the nylon cord around the ankle to keep the cuffs tight) had wrapped around my chainring and brought me to an excrutiatingly grinding halt. Luckily I didn't go down!

Result? A sprained ankle, and a nice bruise where the nylon cord wrapped around my ankle, cutting it up a bit, and ruining my pants...and, not to mention, super embarassing...

So..moral of the story...be careful of any pants with nylon or drawstrings in the ankle section...even if they are sinched tight, if they ever loosen, you will be in for a real treat!!!
