This thread reminds me of a buddy that used to wear tennis shoes when he rode, we always told him to get some boots. One day he got the lace stuck to the peg at a lite and feel right over, whilst trying to free it up so he could put his foot down. Man it was funny watching him struggle to remove his foot as the bike started leaning over until it hit.

I did that once - only, I had enough sense to realize my predicament, and put the other foot down. As it was just me, and I was in Rush-hour Traffic, I couldn't just "pause for a moment" and untangle my laces at the stop. So, I got going again, and untangled "on the fly" between the next stop.

Awkward putting the "wrong" foot down, but beats the hell outta laying in the street with a motorcycle on top of you, and 500 angry cagers honking and yelling expletives.

I was a dumb kid, and didn't know any better. Didn't even wear a helmet regularly then.

I'm probably only a little dumber now.

Guess I should rephrase that I have worn tennis shoes hightops to be exact and have had the issue, scared the **** outta me but managed to get the foot down. Boots for life, besides they look cool as hell!
