    eat flies.

    Oh... and keeping your eyes on someone really really cute while descending a steep hill... I ended up on the backseat of a car with my bike included. And it was NOT a convertible.

    By charity, goodness, restraint, and self-control men and woman alike can store up a well-hidden treasure -- a treasure which cannot be given to others and which robbers cannot steal. A wise person should do good. That is the treasure that cannot be lost.

    slam on v-brakes after missing a turn (ended up in the ER after that one)

    catch the kerb with the descending pedal while riding fixed - bent a pedal in 2 planes doing that

    hold the bars so loosely that an unseen pothole knocks them out of your hands
