i got you beat! back in High School, I was riding my 12 speed street bike and I decided to see if I could take on this older woman that lives around the block from me. She was notorious for doing the speed limit and nothing more or less on the local roads (30 mph in my town). She drove a 2nd gen accord. I was beating her. I had passed her despite a head start of 4 car lengths and had at least one length on her when the chain slipped during a gear change, locking the pedals and causing me to flip over the bike, landing shoulder first, with the bike crashing into me and I wound up breaking my collar bone!

I then had to walk my bike home about 1.5 miles with a bent wheel and my broken collar bone. Funny I think I smiled despite the pain. A kill is a kill.
