    Easy way to lose fingers.

    Heard plenty of stories guy trying to clean the chain with a rag. Then rag got caught in sticky lube and dragged into sprockets taking his fingers with it.

    Edit: Oh that was you


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    I find Colgate whitening toothpaste the best for getting into the hard to reach crevices.

    Dont forget to floss after you brush!
    Never mind the floss, rinse with mouthwash

    Yeah, I can't remember who it was now but they were quiet proud of their efforts
    Probably the worst one was sniper and his spark plug incident looked like someone had taken to his lip with a coring knife

    Unless someone was cleaning their chain with their testicles I'm not sure this would affect natural selection.
