Let me randomly select one.

Last summer, Mr. Kool here pulled out of a Starbuck's near an intersection of two four lanes and zigzagged between some cars idling and waiting for the light. Going up the white line, I sensed the light about to change so slipped in between two cars in the left turn lane. Car behind me came forward suddenly, startled I jerked the bars to maneuver thereby entering a zone called toe clip overlap where, as I tried to straighten my front wheel, my foot&pedal got stuck between downtube and wheel. Longer to write than to happen. Went down still clipped in with half of me in the left turn lane and the other half in the next lane. Everything stopped while I unclipped, jumped up, straightened out, got flustered so missed the clip in, cars still idling, tried to get going before the left turn light changed, limped across the intersession with my heel on the pedal. All for a light coffee frap.

Mr. Kool here demonstrated the unique bike handling skills he's known for.
