Cracker for me today...really stupid and lucky to be unharmed.
About 20 miles in to an easyish ride (week off) I absent mindedly reached down for a water bottle.
Only problem is that I reached past the bottle, past the downtube and fed my fingers into the spokes of my front wheel. As I was doing about 18-20 at the time the spokes were moving too fast to let my fingers through.
Lucky really. I guess if I was riding slower I could have lost some fingers. Especially as I have bladed spokes on my front...
