Damn you SPD's

[mummra]

Stupid SPD's need tightening after my knackers took a beating on the top tube tonight.
Stopped at a red light and though I'd have time for a drink.
Left foot out of SPD and on the floor. Taking a nice big swig of water the van in front started to move.
With Traffic behind I rushed getting the water bottle back in the cage and attempted a quick off.
Unfortunately as I was starting to push with my right foot taking my left foot off the ground the right foot decided to un-clip.
Followed by the very unsightly bashing of my knackers on the top tube and me then scuttling away to the side of the road for a little rest & recuperation




Ouch!

Bottles are bastards when it comes to inflicting pain and surprise.

You have my sympathy.

I oncemissed the cage on the seat post when descending at speed (not pedalling).

Suddenly my rear locked, when I still had one hand trying to find my bottle cage.

As you all know (but I didn't at the time) I'd shoved my bottle into the brake cable and applied the brake.

That is not a good time or place to lock the rear wheel, what with one hand being off the bars and the whole plot being slightly wobbly.

Even now I am unbelievably over-careful putting a bottle back into the cage on the seat post....

Bottles.... Hah!

I admire the way that you were utterly blameless, the cleats, the bottle, the pedals, everything to blame bar you

Now you know why compact frames were invented

The blame quite clearly lies with the white van blocking my view to the lights
