Pushing my bike out of the office and my cleat just happened to lock into the extruded aluminium threshold. I kid you not it nearly pulled my fecking leg off as I stepped forward.

Be careful out there folk.
Hey, maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!

    Sadly I am not. My SPD locked in as if the threshold was designed for the job. I had to twist my foot to free it.

    I once got hit full in the face by a pheasant, which shot out of a hedge right in front of me. Nothing in my cycling proficiency badge training prepared me for that one

    Had that with an owl on a branch when I was mtb'ing at night. They're bigger than you'd think. Also got knocked off by a roe deer once.

    Finishing off a great week as a tour guide following the Tour, I went for a ride on the Champs Elysee this morning, and missed my pedal clip in;
