Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

seems as though the bear trap worked, your leg definitely did not get away from it.

imagine trying to fall into a pushup position... not too easy.

If you are close enough to bust your face you are close enough to catch yourself, or at least put your arm in front of your face as a buffer

This was impromptu. I wasn't trying to go jumping, I was just being a gooch.

I paid for it.

Jesus, give the guy a break! He didn't post in here about how smashing his face into the bumper was the only thing he could do, he posted a funny drawing of his most spectacular bike mishap - I don't know if you have noticed, but most of the mishaps in here involve doing something stupid or wrong.

It's kind of the point.

Nice, I've always loved the fact that you have to go to the gayborhood in Sac to get a decently poured drink. The exception is of course Benny's.

i don't have time to MS paint it, but my ex was riding past a full packed bar on a saturday night and tried to pop a wheelie and his front wheel flew off and he did a front flip over the handle bars. I saw the carnage afterward, pretty heinous

i just realized that may have come off as snarky. i wasn't trying to be mean. just saying that i as always scared to tear the hell out of my leg when i road bear traps to i wore shin guards. i just ride platforms now though i broke a pedal and tossed on some old ones i had laying around.

thank you...

It's not like I didn't try to catch myself. If I had caught myself I wouldn't be posting.

just like if people had seen potholes, doors opening, not ridden drunk, or dodged a car, they wouldn't be posting either.
