"A bicycle does get you there and more. And there is always the thin edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive. Dogs become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal. And getting there is all the fun."

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

Pedal through a turn when you're leaned over more than your bike's ground clearance will allow.
That one landed me in the ER (and very very lucky I didn't break my neck)Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

Adjust your saddle. Well, Eddy Merckx did (while racing), but no one else should.

Breathe and drink pink Cytomax at the same time. For some reason, I only do this during organized rides when someone is passing me. It provides a nice first (and probably lasting) impression.
