Is this one of the stupidest things we've ever done? In today’s show, we ask ourselves this question, discuss the many stupid things we’ve done in our cycling lives, and reflect on what we learned from them!
We also explore how cycling helmets can double as protection for tennis players from... water bottles? Plus, delve into the latest in bike tech, the recently-released Unbound race route, and much more!

@JonCannings 14 күн бұрын

Plenty... but something that will always live with me is going out for a ride when not fully recovered from a virus and having to take a dump in a layby. Only for a family in their car to stop and have a picnic... And they witnessed it

Not knowing there was a community run scheduled on my ride. After hitting closed roads with empty streets I decide to ride through and saw the runners as I cut through corner and went arse up across the road in front of them.

A few years back after a crash I rode 15Km to home with a broken arm and a couple broken ribs. At first the arm felt ok but the pain got worse as I rode home. Only after I went to the hospital and was x-rayed I found out that the arm and ribs were broken. I also had a bad crash a few years later, hitting a car that pulled out in front of me. I hit it so hard that the crank arm was bent in under the frame I was doing about 30Kmh. The result was concussion, a broken collarbone and three broken ribs. As a result of the concussion I now have Tinnitus in my left ear for the last 11 years. Sadly Tinnitus cannot be healed. I did get a new (and better) bike with the Insurence money payed to me. Still riding at 72 without a motor.

When I was a teenager, I insisted on riding my bike to the beach while my family drove. Riding a mountain bike and dressed for the beach, I missed my turn and ended up climbing a damn mountain ⛰️ 😳 it was hot, I was not prepared for a climb and was far from fit enough to finish the climb. I was in tears as I slogged my way up and up, thinking, that turn HAS to be coming soon. At some point, about half way up, I ran out of steam and admitted defeat. 😑 I rode home sad, embarrassed, and bonked. Having said that, I still love riding and will never quit! 👁 ❤️ 🚲 Manon and Connor, you're both absolute beasts! Very inspirational 👏

First day of RAGBRAI in 2023, 7 miles in on Day 1. I'm bombing it downhill at 35mph when another rider cut across my path and took out my front wheel. I should have gotten stitches on my hip but that would have meant going home. At first it only looked like the paint chipped on my brand new carbon frame so I continued on riding it. On Day 4 it really started creaking and the "chip" had spread to almost all the way around the top tube. I finished the final 3 days on a different bike. The gash on my hip took another month and a half to fully close up and I now have a gnarly scar. But Trek replaced my frame including the custom paint scheme for free so that was cool.

I don’t know if it’s my dumbest moment but probably my most expensive blunder was deciding a deer trail running down to a creek was ridable. Just before the trail met the creek it became a sheer cliff and I went face first into the stream. After that my shoulder really hurt and the friend I was riding with was convinced I had a dislocated shoulder so he proceeded to try to put it back in. Turns out I had a broken collarbone and trying to reset my shoulder wasn’t helping at all! 🤕

1) 40+ years of cycling. I fell over sideways at a very busy intersection last year. I didn't clip out in time. The 100 or so people who saw it had a good laugh, I'm sure. Cracked a rib on the handlebars (all healed). 2) Many years ago, when I was in my invincible early 20s, I took fast turn on a chip and seal farm road intersection. As one can imagine, I took home some chip and seal in my leg.

At a stop bike crash, set off my crash detector. FLAT pedals. I had heavy loaded panniers, and was getting stuff for my new apartment. I had cookie sheets in there, sticking up over the rack. Stopped, swung my leg over.... caught on the cookie sheets. Heavy loads meant balance was wonky, and momentum was not in my favor. Landed smack on my ass, strained my butt muscle, and for a few hours until it settled down, was worried I wouldn't make it riding to my first day at new job. DERP. Actual painful needing to see doctor? I got my new bicycle, a snazzy road bike. Series of unfortunate events on new-bike-day led to severe dehydration (even though I'd planned on hydration).... and that led to a nasty UTI three days later. Always hydrate to avoid pissin' blood, folks! Not the bike's fault. She's great. Still ouch.

Stupid and Painful things. Painful: 300km into a 400km audax a fallow deer jumped a hedge and landed on my back. Pitch black, i had no idea of the cause of the crash. Painful due to the 11 ribs, scapula and 4 verts broken. Stupid: Riding the same 400km event 2 years later.

I once almost failed to undo my toe strap and whilst trying to reach down to the right pedal and getting my foot out late, fell the other way! :-D

My favourite "dumb" cycling accident was having my cycle computer sensor slide down my fork and jamming my front wheel, straight over the bars, woke up in the ambulance on the way to the hospital (with the bike in the ambulance), got off relatively lightly only mild concussion and a very minor fracture to the point of my elbow

Not an accident but once had to cycle 15 miles to home on one leg due to blowing out my other knee with a rowing machine

Plenty too … As I started riding more seriously it happened one morning in the early autumn when nasty cravings tortured men … It had to be sugared mandarins with cream! After being in the competition for a while my stomach reminded to vanish in a cornfield. What a relief 😅! I confess honestly Inever never ever did such stupid things again.
