Only twats ride with worn cleats

I caught my pedal on the kerbstone whilst trying to do a combo of riding and looking behind me which resulted a mad ambulance ride to A&E whereupon I had to undergo major bandaging and other things. In all fairness to the ambulance crew and the kind man who was walking past (trying not to piss himself), they did pick up the remnants of my face which were left strewn all over the pavement...

The moral of the story is - don't ride fixed with cleats while trying to look behind you :P

Have you considered cycle training?
