things not ro do on a bike

[Trekhawk]

Ride with flip flops.

Foot slipped off pedal, flip flop caught in wheel, entire bottom of foot sliced off by spokes . I shudder everytime I see anyone riding in flip flops!

Yikes!
I will read this to my son who had a crash on the weekend while cycling and ended up with a quick trip to the hospital and thirteen stitches in his little foot. Yep things not to do on your bike - ride with Crocs on after Mum and Dad said not to.

Trek - tell him I can relate! Hope he heals quick, and no more Crocs on the bike!

I actually tried that two years ago (the flip flops) I got halfway down the block when i realized what a terrible idea it was. Lucky for me, I figured it out before
something horrible happened!

Catch a bee in your mouth will speeding down a hill at 45 mph.

Catch a bee in your mouth will speeding down a hill at 45 mph.

To which I'll add:

Catch a bee on your thigh while CLIMBING a steep hill at < 10 mph, and have to stop and take the stinger out.

Hit the right front hard at 13mph. Okay, so the one and only daughter who steered into my path and was about to be t-boned is safe and well and sitting in the living room doing her homework right now...but Mama is still nursing a sore shoulder six months later.

Oof.

Don't have a staring contest with anything that you don't want to run into. You will usually lose.
