I can top that.  I bet I'm the only one here who's bent a bike fork
*forwards*.  ....wait for it....


...this happens when you wear size 14 sneaks, and have no front fender, and
you're riding with the toe clips on the bottom of the pedal, and you're
turning slightly, and your sneaker toe gets caught......


No, there's no comparison.  Even disk brakes don't stop as well as a foot.
And yes, you wind up in front of the wreck on your keester.
