And accidentally getting your toe stuck in the chain... you never ride barefoot again...

Still would rather those. Dirt bikes and mechanical horses will always be far more superior. Especially for us with ruined disks in our backs.

I think they're mostly plastic these days, aren't they?

I've always cycled a lot and never use modern clipless pedals....my shins are pretty much always scabby and have plenty of scars and gouges....hurts like fuck for about 30 seconds when you do it but I'm pretty good at suppressing that pain after 40 odd years of dealing with it!

My fucking god yes.

I restore vintage bikes- you know, fellow geezers who want to give their grandkids something nice that they had when they were that age- and so on. Or just to hang on the wall.
