At the bottom of a decent Alpine downhill:

'shit, my rotors are on fire' *reaches down and touches one with tip of glove, glove melts and burns hand'.

Any other examples of Darwinian style cleverness??!!

After having recently passed my driving test, i yanked the handbrake on at about 45mph to see what happened.

I only did that once.

I had a front disc that had lighting bolts and oakley symbols. My friends, after a long night out, decided it would make a good burn/tattoo. He only did that once...

try to lever a pedal arm off a bike with an adjustable wrench, then get your face nice and close to the wrench in question.

When the wrench slips you realise that you could have skipped the middle man and just hit yourself in the face with it to begin with.

All the above, plus:

Try to remove a branch from front wheel during a descent in a cross race. Ouch.

Ride a fixed wheel bike wearing baggy jeans, not tucked into sock or rolled up. Cue one legged jeans and messed up face.

Clip into spd backwards whilst chatting at the top of a hill. Had to rip the ****er off and ride cleat-less.

Attempt very large drop-off outside Navigation in Buxworth after quite a few pints. Cue broken XT bb and large scar in back of leg.

Oh well, you live and, in my case, don't learn!

Respond to an offer of job training that sounds too good to be true by handing over a large amount of cash and assuming it's all above board because it's backed and supervised by our cretinous government.

Seven months later - £8k out of pocket and nowt to show for it except a useless portfolio and a headful of knowledge for a glutted job market, with no chance of work or a refund. Scammer (Conservative Party donator) currently sunning himself somewhere on a private beach, no doubt...

Moral of the story: If it looks too good to be true, it is. 👿
