THAT WAS CLOSE!

The other day I was riding home from school on my fixed gear when I hit a rather large bump, which caused my right foot to twist in toward the frame.  All I felt was a quick tug, and when I looked down, the side of my shoe was cut clean in half, sliced between my chain and the chain ring. I guess I'm pretty lucky that it didn't get my skin; I've heard (and seen pictures) of guys who have lost fingers to the notoriously hungry fixie chain line.  Ouch.
