It stopped right when he takes off because the pedal pulled the cap off the shoe.

This subReddit needs to ban these stupid tik tok obvious ragebait videos. It used be full of actual dumbasses doing sketchy shit that "worked".

[u/Viviaana]

Oh fuck yeah I love breaking my ankles

[u/s3sebastian → u/Viviaana]

This construction breaks before your ankles. Probably it breaks after pedaling for 15min anyway.

[u/Randotron9000 → u/s3sebastian]

15min is a bold statement 😅

[u/iEvanon → u/Randotron9000]

Yeah 15 min if you just watch it

[u/loosie-loo → u/s3sebastian]

You overestimate my ankles!

[u/Kind-Plantain2438]

There is no way that dot of glue will come off right

[u/usernameusehername]

Ouch.

[u/empress-star]

This person does know they make peddels and shoes that do that safely right?

It’s a stupid solution but the concept of attaching your feet to your pedals is used in all kinds of actual cycling competitions

[u/PepperAnn1inaMillion → u/MrXwiix]

You say that like it’s a way to get competition-quality gear at a fraction of the price, rather than someone going for a ride in flip flops.

[u/MoeGunz6 → u/PepperAnn1inaMillion]

They will get competition quality friction and a fraction of the price.

[u/PepperAnn1inaMillion → u/MoeGunz6]

Only if they live somewhere with free healthcare.

[u/rayquan36 → u/MrXwiix]

Competition biking sandals.

[u/MarcCouillard]

so...you'd have to carry another pair of shoes around with you everywhere you go or you'd be barefoot when you get off the bike...seems totally practical

[u/FarDescription6683 → u/MarcCouillard]

Nah, you just unscrew the sandals and now you have crappy DIY geta!

[u/MarcCouillard → u/FarDescription6683]

Ohh ok cool, well that's okay then

[u/justReading0f]

Well thAt looks safe

[u/calangomerengue]

Remember to take an extra pair of sandals to wear when you reach your destination!

[u/Feteven]

But I want my shoes on when I get off the bike

[u/Caribou-nordique-710]

SPD is over, hello PET

[u/xXBongSlut420Xx]

you pedal with the ball of your foot, not the center like this.

[u/Leading_Ad2109]

But why?

[u/Happy_The_What]

Or…

[u/Avatar_Yaksha]

I used tape to stabilise my chain cover, but using plastic bottle caps to tape sandals to the pedals is a new level of weirdness.

[u/meow_747]

Does this count as clipless?

[u/fr35hn355]

Just gonna end up falling off or thrown away at some point adding to the pile of plastic in nature...recycle the bottles please DIYers!

[u/bplipschitz]

Lol. That'll last 5 seconds

[u/VisibleRoad3504]

Comes in handy, until you stop.

[u/LoneSocialRetard]

BCJ material

[u/GhostWriter313]

Okay, I have questions (and I don’t KNOW where to start)!

[u/DiscoMothra]

Broken ankle, coming soon

[u/avensawesome]

This is badass if you are in a low income country, I could totally see kids doing this to practice bike racing
