Cleats are not made for running!

Stopped at the gate at work, jumped off the bike and started running to the bike racks to get me chain, slipped and badly hurt me foot and cut me leg in two places haha.

It were okay for a good hour or two and now I'm in quite a serious amount of pain! Hurts to move it walk on, think I might have to go to the hospital in all honesty, bit awkward as I'm at work.

Moral of the story, DON'T run in cleats!

Ouch. Yeah, cleats are slippy at the best of times, even with SPDs and MTB shoes :eek:

Hospital said sprained ankle xD

Made me laugh, I'm all cut up, what's really amused me is that I were only bothered about my £25 uber pro bib shorts! Fortunately they sustained zero damage!

The sound of walking in cleats makes cringe anyway, crunching on dirt and grit just makes me wince for some reason. Glad your bib shorts were ok, first thing i checked when I recently got knocked off!

Weird how we do that, screw the pain and the blood, quick look around to make sure no one captured the moment, quick check of the bibs and off we trot haha!
