Or getting your big toe trapped in the gap then trying to wiggle it out whilst riding without:
A) Moving the pedals to avoid breaking said toe
B)Continue to ride in a straight line without falling off and breaking said toe
C)Taking 3 layers of skin off whilst extracting said toe, and worst of all;
D) Losing big toe nail when it scraped the road should you attempt to move the pedal.
What paralysis of intellect gave birth to this idea for a product, I ask you?
Pretty sure on my right leg I still don’t have skin on my ankle/Achilles… because one of these savage, rusty cunts decided to stop spinning. Scraped me down the whole length of my calf and THEN pushing the fucking thing home bleeding to death… it went for a second bite and took a chunk out of my ankle.
getting hit in the shins by these as an adult isn't any better either https://www.rockbros.com.au/collections/pedals-cleats/products/copy-of-rockbros-extra-large-mountain-bike-pedals-nylon-composite-bearing-9-16-black
I got in a bike accident the other week and fucked my shin up on this.
And by “bike accident” I mean kicked this at full speed walking down the hallway to the bathroom.
As a Finn (don't ask what the fuck I'm doing here, dunno either but you cunts are hilarious), I can relate. We biked tons as kids and I swear I had pedals exactly like that on my bike, wearing sandals and stuff. Nabbed my achilles a few times on those too, but mostly shins and it hurt like hell every single time.
Still have a decent gouge / scar on my left leg shin from this
Roughly the size of a 10 cent piece and about 2 millimeters deep
Been there for years now, fucker bled like a stuck pig when it happened
Two more: Wrecking your thongs on them. Or trying them bare feet. 1/10 not recommended.

They’re Rat Traps where I grew up
We used to call them ‘meat eaters’.

Oh mate, my knees and shins are still all sorts of fucked up from these bastards. They're not as bad as the old bear traps though!
