When you stop to cross a street and you go to take off and your foot slips off the pedal and you end up with big bruise a few inches above your ankle within seconds...

Oh, yeah. I'm very good at doing that! Also at bruising my shin on the pedal. It's a secret talent of mine.

Yes! Especially on my mountain bike with its spiky pedals (whatever they are called technically, I have no idea.) Anyway, I have permanent bruises.

Oh yeah, I have some serious scars from this particular move with spiky platform pedals. I took such a chunk out of my leg once my MD sent me for x-rays and I had to go on antibiotics because she thought I may have driven one of the spikes right into the bone.

thats where those bruises on my shins came from!
oh wait no, those recent ones are from crawling around because i can't walk, but it does explain the ones i got when i was on my bike."Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it." – William C. Durant
