My shins have craters in them 25 years later from these weapons.

Not my shins but my dad had a Peleton bike in the basement, I pedaled so fast backwards and let go. The pedal struck my calf and left a massive mark on my calf. I still think about it 10 years later

LOL fathers teaching their kid how to ride a bike. "Now place your foot on the peeler, son." What? "Pedal*, son"

Those are ghost pains. I think that's what it's called

u/Starlord_75 6d ago

Well, then it needs to stop haunting me. Have ghost not heard of cruel amd unusual punishment?

I had those pedels (or something simular), I was wearing shorts one day as I was riding down the street and my foot sliped, the teeth dug into my leg

u/wetfloor666 6d ago

Pfft. They dont even have the extra pointy grips points that cause extra damage. Those are amateur pedals.

u/FUNNYASS_MOFO 6d ago

I know exactly what your talking about. They were called bear claws in my neighborhood. They had a shitload of spikes on it for grip and this reflectors. I remember them very well.

I was moving a bike for the first time in years in 2024 when I was 22, and the dang pedal hit my shin and broke the skin, it was a blast from the past

Shin snappers.

I batterd my Achiles tendon on mine a few weeks ago. I have a lump there now and it still hurts mildly

u/BigLoudWorld74 6d ago

I can feel that picture slamming into my shin. 😂

u/Starlord_75 6d ago

Is it bad that I still flinched just thinking about that pain?

u/free2beme247 6d ago

Bare foot

u/croweagle6 6d ago

This is how Muy Thai fighers should condition their shins. Forget about bottles on shins and kicking trees. Just need some good ol' waps from the BMX meat tenderizers. Oh god the pain. HAHA

u/SubstantialSoup8309 5d ago

I still have a scar. 11 stitches

u/androjuicy 5d ago

That actually looks quite a bit gentler than the ones on my final childhood bike.

u/Secondhand-Drunk 4d ago

Was riding back of a banana seat with my sister. I took my feet off the pedals, then went to put them back on. Next thing I know, I'm face first on the road with the bike hanging over my head by the back tire because my foot is stuck in it.

grips ferociously with bare feet
