i havent been riding fixed long and yesterday was my first 5 mile ride[i know not really far but i havent ridden in ages]
Anyway i get to my friends house for dinner etc.On the way back i could feel my pedal moving,i got off my bike to see my pedal arm had threaded.So i thought its time for some one footed HTFU.But then i noticed my sit had slid down so i tried tightening it and the bloody seatclamp bolt snapped. :(
had to do the one footed thing for about 3 miles.
Happy Xmas

This usually happens if you over tighten your pedals.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
