Tuck your shoelaces in!

Surely asking for trouble!

do it on the other side and u are sorted

Last night I managed to get my brother to come on a quick bike ride with me, he thinks of himself as having had grown out of bikes. Also I sort of have a reputation in my family of having silly bike/skateboard related accidents and getting more injured than normally possible.

It was a very short ride, and my brother thinks the idea of fixed wheels, strapped in feet and road bikes in general are ridiculous and dangerous.

So im keen to make a good impression.

It was all going quite well, the about 15metres before we get home,

I stop for a moment as I got a bit ahead of him,

as he goes past I quickly flip a pedal and clip my foot in, which happens to be the trailing crank arm.

My bike is pretty high geared and its a hill, so I basically dont budge, its a flustered moment, car approaching, night time, bike at a funny angle, foot completley LOCKED in !

I wobble about, and roll over spectaculary into my elbow without even setting off and land eventually on my back.

A little sore I try to get up before getting run over, and I hear a rawkus of hysterical laughter.

Theres a group of black teenagers on the street corner, in absolute uncontrollable hysterics!

there shouting out franitcally, "oh my days, oh my.. he even had a flashing light! hahahHAAAHAA!"

seriously their in tears, like 6 of them.

I shout fuck off, in an attempt to reclaim some dignity, but quielty enough that they dont knife me.

They would've knifed you if they'd been white. No question ;)

Not black teenagers? My god no!

Come on it is fuckin funny though. Ive done it twice and really cant complain at people whove seen me and had a chuckle. Id definatly be pissing myself if i saw someone else do it.

I have completely destroyed my Converse when the shoelace got stuck, it wasn't nice with the gearing being 16-52, so was rather impossible to slow down at high speed.

I didn't stopped on time and after an alarmingly painful tugs, the shoelace managed to ripped itself off the shoes, as well as breaking the shoelace.

god that was painful.

yeah i'd laugh too. that is some funny shit.

No, no, no.
Stan Smiths. Are. Not. Cool.
Mostly.
I think.
Oh, fashion fucks with my head.
Am I cool? Am I uncool enough that wearing Stan Smiths would be cool?
How can I be cooler?
Why won't the cool kids be nice to me mummy, WHY?!
:(
