Ill try to keep this short and sweet. Just got back to my hometown a couple days ago, and been riding bikes around. The other day I noticed my lockring was loose. I figured as long as I didnt put too much force on it pedaling back then everything would be fine until I tightened it. Wrong! Stood up to pedal when riding last night, and the bike locked on me completely. Over the handlebars, landing on my head, and a couple rolls later...somehow the only part of my body that ends up bleeding is my penis. Fun fun fun.

Check your lockrings ladies and gents, and wear your helmets.

I'd suspect the handle bar ends- since you implied it was a cut and not from slamming your kidneys on the ground, though I wouldn't necessarily discount that.

I had a friend that decided to make a "fixed" cog by using lock-tite. Let's just say it was a horrid idea.
You have inspired me to stop putting off the replacement of my rear tire that I skidded to death. I am pretty sure a few more wears on that thing will have me splatted on the side of the road, myself.

Maybe you need to design a protective cup that you can cycle with! And I think Junkscraper is a better name, sounds crustier.

I've had some bad spills off a bike before. Scrapped elbows, knees, and a bad shoulder asphalt burn,...even racked the boys once or twice but never Mr Happy. =)

Makes me cringe just thinking about that.

Hope the healing goes well. Maybe go to the doc for some pain meds to help pass the time.=P If ever there was a case that called for meds, it would be this I say.lol.

I'm sorry... but everytime I see the title of this post, I swear it says "loose cock-ring"...
