"Oh Shit" moments...

Riding to college and thought 'Oh shit, I've left my lock at home'.

Left bike at Leeds Cycle point. £1 for the day.

If this is the level of 'oh shit' we've been reduced to, I am happy that the world is a bit of a better place.

Indeed. Must try harder.

I remember my first bike with Look pedals. The eBay advert said "Keo" pedals, so I wore Keo cleats. They were a little loose and rattly once clipped in, which I assumed was normal. After a few miles I stood up to sprint down a hill and then felt both my feet release from the pedals just as a transit van was overtaking me. So (at 20mph) I flumped suddenly forwards, my feet were dragging along the road and my manhood was getting seriously acquainted with the top tube. I was imagining how my face would feel against the tarmac, but managed to keep the bike upright and not swerve into the van. I lost a lot of plastic on my shoes, and had chronic testes-ache.

Turns out I actually required Deltas.

20mph?

must try harder.

but hope your balls sustained no lasting damage.
