Following 3 weeks in plaster and minor surgery here is the result of my foot not clipping in and slipping off the pedal and down the chainring!

Oof! I bet that made you since.

Heel soon. 😉

Heel soon.

I think he’s done enough damage to the shin!

Ouch! What happened that required the leg in plaster?

Needed to keep the foot imobilised so that the skin didnt stretch and rip the stitches. The good news is I didnt damage my achillies which was lucky.

Done that, still have the neat set of puncture wounds tattooed with oil 20 year later.

Puts my flat pedal maul marks to shame

Ooh that looks gnarly. Perfect pic for Halfords to use fir advertising chain ring guards!

Glad to see no socks with those sandals

Have had my own inverted v on my calf for thirty five yrs from a bolt on my Tomahawk gouging my calf. No oil though. Glad it is healing and not structural. I can still remember staggering off the bike and a white faced friend saying “don’t look at your leg!” Well what happened next…?

Yeah with mine once I’d realised I hadnt hit an artery and wasnt going to bleed to death I could tell it wasnt good as none of the passers by wanted to get too close and most back away rapidly. Thankfully a police dog handler patched me up and took me to hospital as no ambulance had turned up after 45mins!

That is going to leave a really cool scar. Bit jealous TBH.

3 weeks in plaster and still on crutches…not worth it. Especially as its the summer holiday!!

Coolest tribars ever! you could get into a real superman position with those

If the UCI see this thread they’ll be banning chainrings

I think he’s done enough damage to the shin!

I hope not, otherwise his foot’s on backwards!

I want that tool rack on the wall!

How long till you can get out on the bike again?
