What a horrible idea.
It was a good idea until he grabbed the chain too tightly.Quote:

I looked at this 10 minutes ago and still have vomit in my throat. I really should have read before clicking.
I didn't even flinch at that part. I was more stunned by his testimony of how it happened. And the pity that his fellow riders showed:wideeyed:Quote:
