There’s nothing more exciting than riding your bike barefoot, and have the foot slip off the pedal, and get stuck between the pedal and the road, with your big toe bent back dragging the pavement.
Kids these days don’t know what they’re missing.
I personally liked the big wheel train down a big hill where the pedals go so fast you cant keep up and end up with one foot under the bottom of the big wheel and end up getting stitches to fix the cut after the asphalt friction burns through your hand me down shoes. Enjoyed every minute and learned a valuable lesson.
I’m glad it wasn’t just me.
