  1. I’ve had this happen before where my shoe lace gets wrapped around the
    crank arm and then I feel that tug on my shoe at which time I stop and
    fix my laces. But this time was different. I hopped on my 29” uni
    during my lunch break to carve some fast turns. Leaning hard into a
    turn my shoe lace looped over the crank (it’s easier with small cranks)
    and with no time to react I’m flipping ass over tea-kettle. It was one
    of those “I meant to do that” moments. I love this sport.

  2. hahaha, yeah, it's so easy to make a fool of yourself unicycling (:
    especially at -exactly- the wrong time.

  3. Tuck your shoe laces in, baby. It only takes a sec and it can save you
    from a world of hurt.

    I did something like this on my Summit. I was riding to the starting
    point of a Christmas parade. I was waving to an elderly man on the
    sidewalk when the loop of my shoe lace got caught on the nub of my
    Summit crank. Next thing I knew, I was laying in the street.
