I’ve done that before, pedal siezed and quickly stripped the thread out the cranks.

I had a bottom bracket spindle shear off on the way home once. 5 miles one legged pedalling. 😥

Had a chain snap, 6 miles out from home in 6 inches of snow wearing only lycra and a tshirt, going through one of the rougher areas of glasgow.

Still, was a lovely snowy walk. Took a good hour in the bath to warm back up!

had a puncture on the wrong side of ‘the manor’, discovered a schraeder valve on the spare tube, and a rim drilled for presta.

it’s a long walk Along Maltravers Rd when you’re dressed in hi-viz lycra…

you can fit a bike quite nicely in the back of a black cab.
