Pictures and stories of some of the most egregious user-error and bad luck damage on bicycles. All are welcome to submit. Think of it as /r/justrolledintotheshop exclusively for the world of cycling.

Acceptable submissions include the following:

  • Excessive damage to equipment

  • Poorly executed maintenance

  • Calamitous results of complete lack of maintenance

  • "Creative" modifications

  • Unfortunate bicycles seen in the wild (public bike racks are a never-ending source for good material)

  • Bizarre component choices

  • Generally amusing things that show up at the shop

Restrictions on posts include:

  • No Bum Bars. We’ve all seen them and we’re not interested.

  • If posting links to other submissions on reddit, please change the URL to np.reddit.com. No downvote brigades.

  • If you actually want advice about your problem instead of sharing it for people to laugh about, try r/bikewrench instead.
