Even the few times I did bang against my current pedals, it doesn't hurt near as much. I had just forgotten how painful it could be. Can I whine anymore about it?

I had just forgotten how painful it could be.

Can I whine anymore about it?

I went to the bike shop with a friend to test ride bikes wearing flip flops. yes...stupid i know. When I took a Specialized Epic out and proceeded to bunny hop over a parking barrier. I forgot that I was without my clipless pedals and shoes and hopped right off the pedals. Landed back down and my foot went forward which wedged my foot between the pedal and the asphalt. I scraped the skin off the front of two toes and gashed the achilles tendon area...luckily it missed the tendon, but it was bleeding fairly significantly. Anyway, super stupid! I was so embarrassed to go back to the sales guy and my friend that I tried cleaning myself up a bit with a leaf and kind of walked the bike back pretending that I was checking it out at all kinds of angles.
