    Ooof. Football muscles are not the same as bike muscles. Plenty of puff, but can't sprint, stop, turn, kick etc. Still, was fun trying.

    just watch your achilles doing that, known more than one cyclist/footballer who ended up on crutches because of the sprint/stop/turn/kick movement is not in synch with a pedalling motion...even though I believe they probably over extended on the cycling first (heel down) always flat out, but its like drawing back the arrow on a bow, the twisting motion is what releases the tension youve built up.
