That happened to me once in London traffic, not ideal!
Since then I always use a bit of blue loctite on the tapers, works well and have no trouble taking the crank arms off.

You'd have even less trouble if you used a spot of grease on the tapers, and if you do that and torque the crank bolt correctly they don't loosen.

ok, thanks, so hopefully crank hole edges aren't worn

was riding the Alan yesterday in the Kent countryside and the nds campag victory crank arm got loose, so had to walk quite a bit up hill and pedal with one leg on the flats and downs, hope the crank arm hole is not worn from the square tapered axle
