Been riding for well over 30 years and I have nver got my foot entangled in the wheel of my bike. Maybe he was stunting and did so, as I try to keep all my wheels on the ground, and if so, there are times and places for that and the streets are not it..........simple fact.

Actually the foot did not get entangled, it was a malfunction of the fender loosing it's bolts and stopping the front tire at 35 mph. I am an experience rider of 25 years.

Greg, Hope your injuries aren't too serious. There are two types of riders. Those who have crashed and those who will crash. Welcome to the latter. Been there, done that.
