The video I saw on my Kindle left me wondering how that happened. I saw another one that was able to show exactly what happened. I had not been able to see that the guy is using toe traps. Apparently he just had a bit of a snag when he tried to pull back. And in the FWIW department, I Know exactly what happens when the foot is snagged. It was Really cold and I was riding with hands in my coat pockets. Took a turn a little too aggressively and the front tire went perfectly across my trajectory. When I tried to pull my hands out, nope, when I tried to get my feet out. Nope.Talk about Being One with the bike. We were still One when the asphalt rose up to greet me. Straight up hheader, and we disengaged just after my back hit. The bike was in the road, crawled over, dragged it clear of traffic. Dude in a pickup pulls in and asks
Are you okay? Through gritted teeth I said
Will be in a minnit... Traps are great for riding to accomplish the best time across distance. You want a spin rate for efficiency. The muscles tire,naturally. With traps you can alternate between muscle groups, by using toes to lift a pedal, while the other foot is pushing down, dothat a while, then alternate to the other side. I'm impressed that the old dude can even ride, but that he is using traps? I would never have answered Do you think Biden rides a bike and uses traps? Correctly. I hope nobody tries to make him either quit riding or remove the traps. I hope he isn't all bruised up and just decide to not ride. Yeah, I think he's Not Just a pedo,but that he had inappropriate contact with his own children and the girl's diary is darning, but the idea that he wants to ride a bicycle bad enough to risk the buttwhoopin that can come with it is really interesting. No, I don't want him to get hurt from riding in a way that would stop him from riding. I want him to pay for the bullshit with firing the guy in Ukraine, the Afghanistan debacle, the decades of being the Big Guy.. Which, BTW,is on the plate on the corvette.
