Randomly, in the spirit of Halloween, I figured I’d share my mostly minor mishap today. It happened on my spare junker BMX bike today while doing front end spin around sort of balance tricks.

Apparently I need to get some end caps for my handlebars, the sharp uncapped handlebars are what cut me. ☹️🤦

Edit: Don’t mind the wristband, that’s a 1.5 pound sandbag weight to help exercise my left arm.

    There’s a reason road races won’t let you start without bar end caps. It’s a safety critical part and actually quite dangerous to ride without them. Consider yourself lucky you only hurt your hand and didn’t take a core sample of yourself.

    I hope you heal up quickly and stay safe!
