I consistently surprise myself with my own bike-related stupidity. Three recent incidents that jump immediately to mind:

1. Putting headset bearing cages in upside down. I've done it twice in the last year. If there's even one possible way to assemble something backwards I will find it.

2. Trying to bunny hop a pothole while riding a fixed gear road bike. (crashed hard and banged up hip)

3. Sprinted for a red light on a bike I had just rebuilt, and discovered I forgot to tighten down the stem, which came loose at high speed whilst throwing the bike from side to side. Lost control and almost crashed, and went into a curb instead, not even knowing what had happened until I came to a complete stop. Which was much better than going into oncoming traffic. * phew! *
