Yeah that happened once to me too. lace got caught in the pedal while spinning out. I had to make a quick stop and unwind it. Now I always double knot, but no hospitalization was involved. If the chain ever bites em though it generally cuts em right off.

He was a pedicab without health insurance so he really needed to get back on his bike.
I guess his pantleg got caught in his gear, and it broke his ankle somehow probably while he was falling off.

Sweatpants and an old coat. Hipster fashion is lame.

Bikes are fashionable?
(PS: roll or cut your pants, or eventually you will eat ****. I broke my ankle when my pant got wrapped, and that was my non-drive side.)

Seriously what kind of jeans do you people ride in? Bellbottoms? I've never had any problem with my pantlegs getting anywhere near my chain since I quit wearing jnco's in like 5th grade.

I always roll my pants, even though i'm riding geared these days. One thing that happens if I leave them unrolled is, the cuffs catch my empty bottle cage and bend it. After it's bent it's even easier for the cuffs to catch it again, leading to a self perpetuationg cycle of annoyance that ends only with me pulling over and rolling up my pants. I usually wear bootcuts btw.

I actually tend to wear pretty tight pants, and have caught my shiat. Yours must be painted on, or you have a magical bike that doesn't think you taste good enough to eat.
