Two weeks ago I broke my ankle in three places while cycling. I was clipless and when the bike went away from me my left foot stayed firmly attached to the pedal and was horribly twisted. I'm looking at at least another 6 weeks non weight bearing. Of course it was wholly my fault , I took a bend far too fast and lost traction, but if I had been on flat pedals or loose toe clips like I did previously I might just have gotten away with a few nasty scrapes. I'm not saying my injury is at all typical and I was stupid, Thankfully the bike was undamaged ...below my wheels for the next few weeks
