Dick Quickwood Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 i was riding my bike earlier and the shifter handle suddenly broke off, putting a mean scratch on the inside of my wrist. most of the impact hit my watch and coat, and luckily for me there was nothing sharp. a couple years ago i had a pedal break off, naturally i jammed my shin into a jagged metal thing with all my weight on it. plus i get flat tires every other time i ride, i've tried several different things to stop that from happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tough Love Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 ive had 3 bad ones mostly cuz i was being an idiot 1. when i was frst riding and teaching myself how to do it, i accidentally and unknowingly slammed the front break too hard and went flying crotch first into the handle bars... 2. going down hill pretty fast, my arm hit a prickly bush (arm which was for the back brakes) and i was swirving infront of another cyclist, so again i slammed on the front brakes, but this time the bike flew over me (did like a front wheelie) and luckily i didnt die. lol 3. i tried "jumping" my bike off a curb and i fucked up cuz i was too parallel to the curb, wheel got stuck, i feel and got a wicked scar on my elbow and knee the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deformatron Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 yo fuck a trackbike: youll get alot more use out of a decent road bike, or what im looking for which is a cyclocross or touring bike: something you can put fenders and big tires one with more powerfull brakes. ive been hit a number of times, none of them having been that bad, knock on wood. none of them were especially weird, although one time i did trash a 180 dollar front wheel and the fork it was attached to at probably 1.5 miles per hour. oh, and ive definitley seen and been in a few weird accidents while playing bike polo. mallet in the front spokes, over the handlebars, etc. an older racer guy did the scorpion fall where you come off your bike onto your stomach with your feet over the back of your head. dude got right up again like nothing had happened. WHOS GOT MY 60 CM CROSS BIKE!??!?!??!?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cultural me Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 i just learned to ride my bike that summer and i was riding up and down the street outside my house. im in some shorts and no shirt and no shoes, no helmet, enjoying the summer weather- i was maybe 8 or 9 years old. i go one way and my brothers on the side walk. he yells "can i throw a stick in your spokes?" "no" i reply and keep on peddaling. i do my turn around and im riding along. all of a sudden i look to my left and my brother javelines a stick in my direction. hits perfectly in the front spokes and my bike halts to a stop, i fly 8 feet and skid on the concret, bash everything up and immedeitly start bawling. my dad runs out and asks what happened. my bro goes "i didnt think i could actully get it in there."

mullet Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I once caused a guy to go flying head first onto a paved road. I just stoped in front of him and thought he was gonna go around me, but this niggah was going sooper dooper fast and basically ate shit. I have never seen a lump or a bruise the size of this come up so fast as this guys leg and the cuts and shit were mega. He actually got fucked up proper and I was in crazy schock cos I thought I killed him and he hit me damn hard while coming down the hill but I didnt feel it. Shit was scary on the real. like 150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I thought this was weird, I guess it kinda fits the topic... Authorities discover 'this bike is a pipe bomb' is name of punk band ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Authorities shut down four buildings at Ohio University after a police officer noticed a sticker that said "this bike is a pipe bomb" before finding out the message was the name of a punk rock band, a university spokesman said. Police noticed the sticker on a bicycle early Thursday, then blocked streets around a university-owned restaurant where it was found, spokesman Jack Jeffery said. A bomb squad came from Columbus, about 65 miles away. The bomb squad pried apart the bike with a hydraulic device normally used to rescue accident victims trapped in cars, acting Athens Fire Chief Ken Gilbraith said. Once they had it open, they saw there was no bomb. The buildings were reopened after about two hours. Dean of Students Terry Hogan asked that fans of the Pensacola, Fla., band be more careful when showing support in the future. Patrick K. Hanlin, 28, was charged by university police Thursday after he came forward as the bike's owner, Jeffery said. The charge carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail. There was no answer at a phone number for Hanlin in Athens. An e-mail message seeking comment was sent to Plan-It-X Records, the band's record label. No phone number was available. Dude's facing jail time because they blew up his bike... huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conspiringone Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 one time last summer i was cruising to work on my bike and was goin pretty fast, somehow the chain not only fell off, but somehow wrapped around the wheels and part of the frame and so this thing just stopped. I got pretty scratched up and ended up being late for work. i just realized that wasn't really weird, it just really sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 My friend was giving another friend a lift on a bicycle, friend A was pedalling, and friend B was sitting on the seat, in that fashion, you know. Anyways, friend B slips backwards off the seat and his BALLSACK falls onto the fast spinning rear wheel, now, because of the motion of the wheel, his BALLSACK is carried with the wheel, FAST, into the wheel arch. I have no artistic talent, but I think you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Dude, you gave the guy a meaty ball region and a convincing expression of pain and suffering. That's artistic talent right there. I once crashed pretty fucking hard TWICE in a span of about an hour and a half. I was on my way to class with an ultra fucked up bike my roomate had found abandoned on the sidewalk, but which seemed to work pretty well. My class was in a building on a steep hill, and had a driveway for a small parking lot courtyard inside. The door to the hallway where my class took place was on that driveway, so I had to go downhill, slow down, take a right and get on that driveway, stop, and then go through the door on my left. Well, that plan went all to hell when the brakes failed halfway down the slope. I was going too fast to get off the bike, so I tried a pathetic attempt to skid and drift into the driveway and into the courtyard. With no brakes, bike response was unexistent, I didn't turn enough, so I ended up smashing straight into the driveway sidewalk, flying off the bike, and smashing into a window next to the door I was supposed to go in through. A small army of Portuguese cleaning ladies was eating breakfast in the room and they flipped the fuck out when they saw some guy smash his shit against the window super hard, then slide down slowly like a cartoon. I was dazed but I was OK, I went to class and kept laughing to myself at how funny it must've looked for those women. So after class I head back home, which wasn't super far, but far enough that walking with the bike alongside would be a total drag. I decided to hop back on and take it super slow, so that braking wouldn't be an issue... and there were no downhill spots leading up to my apartment. It was all going fine and dandy until I get to an intersection, and a car stops and motions me to go ahead. I wave back gratefully and decide it'd be nice of me to hurry up across the street and not waste this nice person's time more than necessary, so I stand up from my seat and start pedaling a little harder. Apparently the previous accident had greatly weakened the bike's fork, and on a particularly vigorous pedal stroke the whole thing collapsed, the front wheel shifted backwards, and the pedal got caught up on the spokes, stopping the bike cold and sending me flying for the second occasion in a way too small timeframe. I totally fucking ate it super hard on the asphalt facefirst, the guy on the car got out and helped me up, and I ended up throwing the bike in a dumpster on the way home. It was fucking ridiculous, I felt like a moron for quite a while after that. Still do, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
