Okay, bonehead move of the day, week, month and year. It was raining this a.m. so I throw my bike on the trainer, get all set up ready to go, get clipped in, reach for my headset sitting on the shelf and…**TIMBER!! Yep, down I go, I actually fell on my trainer. You know, that slow mo, oh sh here comes the hard ground and there’s nothing I can do, kind of fall. All I could do is laugh at such an imbecilic act, and it was witnessed by my friend, so there is validation that it did occur. I defy any of you to top this as just a plain out stupid thing to do.
I’ve done that once before. I hate the securing device on my old trainer and habitually over-tightened it. One day I leaned a bit too far, the skewer popped and BAM, hit the floor. Since I’ve bought my new KK trainer, I am less paranoid about the securing mechanism.
Just this morning my skewer popped out as I was standing up riding hard and my bike fell off. I unclipped just in time unlike yourself.
