MY LEG! I CANT FEEL MY LEG!

[The_Real_Crunk]

My bikes a human powerd deathtrap. Its been having this problem where it randomly switches gears, or the chain comes of completely. When your trying to go really fast, or put all your might into going up a hill, and the chain comes off, all that force your putting into pushing the pedals tends to go either off to one side, or straight into the ground.

Twice now its happened where I crash. Once I was going fast and I tend to lean my bike side to side sometimes when I start peddling really fast. My bike was leaning to the right, chain comes off, and I went down way to far, tried to stop myself with my leg, and went over the handlebars into a bed of flowers. Nobody so much as asked if I needed help.

Second time, about half an hour ago, same thing happened, but when the chain came off my foot slipped off the pedal, hit the ground, and my whole bike tipped up forward. Tried to stop with the brakes, but over the bars I went. Luckily it was on some soft grass. Only problem is the nice slices my big sprocket put into my leg. At least some group of people went "Hey you alright man?!".

SLICE
Solution? Wash with soap, apply papertowel, then scotch tape!

I should really wear my helmet more often. I should also fix this problem before I go tumbling into traffic.

It's so cute. It's like you got attacked by a tiny little Wolverine.

Also, yes, get it fixed and wear a helmet. Your brain works much better while it's inside your skull.

Its not that bad of a wound, but it still stings like a *****.

I hear that! Adhesives = NO WAY, JOSÉ!

Well I usually at least keep it on till it stops bleeding. I think it has. A bunch of blood soaked into the papertowl. Can absorb more than your average no name brand!

There exist studies that have shown drivers to be more aggressive towards bicycle riders with helmets than without. In the U.S., the mean distance drivers keep from riders with helmets is about .3 meters(~1 foot!!), while without helmets, ~.8 meters. This applies only if the bike rider is riding on a street or road with motor vehicle traffic. Many drivers assume non-helmeted riders to be inexperienced and thus keep their distance.

I used to have a bike. Getting the bike ruined by an SUV that knocks you off of it is not fun, nor is it fun if the driver speeds away so fast that you can't get a license plate number. I may get another bike, and I'll be carrying a gun at all times if I do. In the case it happens again, nothing would be more satisfying than blowing the tires out of the vehicle forcing it to slow down and stop, pulling the driver out, and beating the living **** out of the driver and vehicle. Hitting bike riders and running away is NOT COOL.

Not as much as pullin' off that tape.

Man, I never.. EVER put bandages on anything. I find it's less annoying if it's open to the air.

I loved it when i had an Appendicitis. We had this adhesive that was stronger than duct tape, it ripped off some of my skin, right over my wound, when we took it off.

Soon enough the doctors where like "Oh! That hurts you?"

It's good to use bandages on some wounds. I've found that if I put neosporin on smaller cuts/injuries, and then slap a band-aid or something on it, it heals much faster than if I leave it exposed. Sure, it's annoying to have to deal with replacing band-aids or gauze pads, but it's better than getting an infection.

This reminds me....see the movie Clean, Shaven if you want to see an awesome scene of a guy taking a pocketknife and cutting off his entire fingernail. And it's a really good movie to boot.
