Curious about toe/wheel overlap...

I am surprised at how many of my roadie friends' bikes have toe to front wheel overlap and all of them think it is normal and no problem. Scares the begeezus out of me when now and then we switch bikes. (I work at a bike shop, so I often ride someone else's bike to find a noise or something).

I have five bikes. None of them - road bike included - have toe-wheel overlap.

So my question: How many of you roadies have bikes with tight enuff geometry or you have large enuff feet to have your toe overlap or touch your front wheel when you turn sharply? Has it EVER made you crash?

Thanks

Joey
