He literally came back with all his knees and elbows bleeding after owning the bike for a day and asked us what was wrong with the bike.
I walked outside with him and asked him to ride/stop and dismount. As his baggy running shorts over his tights snagged the saddle....he went down again. "See?"....he exclaimed, "it happens every time!"
This cracked me up because one of my early wrecks was caused by riding in soccer shorts! I was going down a steep hill (MT biking) and got back so my weight was over the back tire, then when I came up the dip and slid forward to climb some excess fabric caught on the back of the bike seat! It was ugly, painful, and in hindsight hysterically funny!!!!! (:
