Just wants to share this with you all. I have suffered nasty cuts on my legs due to a fall during cycling. The fall didnt caused the cuts but the pedals DID, causing deep punctured wounds and skins teared off. I really dont know how I lost control but luckily I landed on grass patch, and that was when the pedals cut me. I should have noticed this as sometimes during dismount & push, I would have light cuts on my calves if the pedals hit me. (some of you might experienced this if you walked slower but bike faster during pushing) The pedals seemed harmless as it have smoothed edges. If you looked closer, the pedals have protruding design. It is not sharp but at certain momentum, it can caused serious damages. You can see how easily it cuts me during pushing. (aarrgh, I shouldnt have changed the Tyrell stock pedals away on day 1 as the plastic pedals doesnt seem to match with the bike) The recovery was slow and painful. After the accident, I applied “青草油”. (anyone use before should know the pain-ness when applying) The bleeding couldnt stop and I have to seek GPs attention on a holiday evening. Today its the fifth day, and wounds are closing in with lesser pus flowing out. If any of you have the same or similar designs, do take note. I am going to throw it away. Also please wear socks that are higher than your ankles as it serves as another protection layer. (which obviously I didnt in my case) Lastly, any pedals to recommend or I should go clipless?
