Bike destroyers tell your story here...

Thought people might be interested in this story...and also, I'd be interested to learn if anyone else has had this happen...

Was riding up a steep hill, was very near the top, so was going very slow...

The axle (is that what it's referred to as?) On my left pedal just snapped clean off...

My shin clipped it and took a nice 5cm chunk of skin as I went down onto my left knee, pulled my bars round, fell into my wheel which buckled and forced my forks apart under my weight...

Currently on the hunt for new wheelset, forks and pedals...funnily enough. Hahah.

Sweet.

shouldn't laugh but am smiling picturing that - high speed crashed that damage you and your bike are one thing but to be crawling along and next thing finding yourself on the floor with a snapped pedal, gashed shin, buckled wheel and bent forks must have been quite a big wtf moment..
