I'm so old I Remember when:

One of the stupidest things I did as a kid was I used to 'brake' on my bike by slipping off the seat and using my knees on the ground. It was all fun and games until I did that wearing shorts! :eek:

And then after it had scabbed over, said scab was ripped off accidentally when it caught on the step of the ladder in our above-ground pool.

Can't believe I was so stupid to brake with my knees.
Or the Ole taking the chainguard off and getting your pantleg caught and couldn't do anything except wait to hit the ground when you stopped

Should of jammed your foot against the front tire by the forks.
That'll usually stop ya pretty good.

I was riding behind someone on the banana seat and let my bare foot slip into the rear spokes. Shaved the skin off my heel.
I still grimace 60 years later.
