I used to think that spinning was safe. I can’t crash, get hit by a car, or fall over. But I can have my clip come unclipped and then my foot hit the floor, and the pedal go full speed into my calf, and then somehow have the other pedal hit the back of my other leg, I’m still not sure how that happened, and then still be in pain a week later. Here are my two big bruises. Ouch.
back of right calf, turning all different colors now
back of left thigh, where did those lines come from?

That doesn’t make me feel better! I hate it when my nails break above the cuticle! You should drink a Margarita to make it feel better. The ice will help numb it.

At least you didn’t get hit by a car like Mr. Spin Instructor!!!

It makes it kind of hard to complain about a giant bruise on my leg (it has gotten bigger) when the instructor collides with a little old lady who made a left turn in front of him even though he had the right of way and he goes flying over the back of her car. He’s okay by the way, but needs a new bike.
