The shoes I wore at my wedding now look like that, but that is a whole different story... I'm riding red barn for the first time this sat, thanks for the confidence boost! Hehehe. Glad your okay tho b

 

Come on, come on…out with it…

I think both times I've done somersaults my bike has gone with me....

 

Awesome to hear you are all okay . Good excuse for new shoes, wife can't now complain

[NicoBoshoff]

I know it takes away a lot of the effect when I say this , but I came off it relatively unscathed. Lucky, I guess...

 

My bike is fine as well. After the crash I duct taped my shoes and even still rode home.

 

Had a sore elbow and hip and a sore body on Sunday morning, but was back on the spinning bike by Tuesday.

 

That's what you get for riding spinning bikes. Sies!

See, some of my detail is obviously missing. My bike did come with me, but obviously only up to a point...

[Wonder Woman]

Yes, and that was until your shoes let go

[BarHugger]

This is extreme. I think all MTB'ers have their own stories.

 

My friend's story goes something like this:

"When I finished the crash, I still saw my bike coming towards me!" (Location: Bassorra Farm, Broederstroom, USN Mtb Cup Race #3 2013). He was left with a 6cm gash to the bone on his left forearm.

 

I however did not have the privilege to witness his crash as my race was also abruptly ended (from 22km/h to 0km/h in 2m), went flying over handlebars, got up with one shoe missing as it was still cleated in on the bike. Completely bent big chain ring made sure I could not continue with the race.

 

The rest of the Hub should also have some terrifyingly amazing stories to share.......?

It's a fail safe built into the shoe in case of a unplanned event.

You put that so eloquently. Great story had me chuckling, hope you all good.

[Guest Latent Blue]

If ever someone has 'won' after a crash, it must be you!

You must have balls of steel

[Skylark]

You damn luck the soles ripped off may have been some broken ankles if they hadn't?!!

[Skylark]

Come on, come on…out with it…
