Was headed to someones house where we meet on Monday nights with the youth group at our church. Only takes me 15 minutes to get there so I like to ride whenever I can. I was going down hill standing up kicking on the pedals pretty hard to beat traffic to get to the side walk and BAM. Chain came off my right foot or I should say big to went right into the pavement, followed by the pedal jamming on my ankle keeping me from removing it... I didn't fall but had to coast over to the side walk fix the chain and pedal the rest of the way there. Good news I didn't brake my toe again! just hurts to walk.
So have started riding my bike more

I have done that too. I was taking off from the stoplight and the friction shifters did not hold. Misshifted and my toes slammed into the pavement. I thought they were broken at first. Ended up badly scraped and very sore.
Its been a few days now, toe isn't hurting near as bad. Ankle is bruised up pretty well, but its getting better. But man that did not feel good! I've got to do a once over again on it make sure it doesn't happen again.
