The Deadly Truth of Shoelaces. (post your shoelace related adventures here)

I just tuck my laces in the laced laces.

Did you ever think about wireless (if your mp3 player has bluetooth or
whatever)??? I use wireless and sometimes wired, wired is annoying and
I almost brokae a pair. Wireless does not get in the way at all (but
collects sweat from my hair).

Also have you tried to put the wires through the bottem of your shirt
and out the neck?

I haven't had a shoelace fall. The picture shows how I tie my shoes to
avoid the possibility. Just skip the top inside hole when lacing so
that the tie falls to the outside. Should get shorter laces, but it
works fine so far.

(I don't have a picture of my kitchen )

What shoes are those? Do they have good grip?

Yes, almost TOO good! Best MUni shoe I've ever had, and I own 3 pair!

They are "High Impact" made by Five. Ten. More on them 'here'

So while I was cokering at top speed, I started to feel a tug at my shoe
and I knew exactly what was about to happen. I'd gotten my shoelace
caught before, but never on my coker and never going top speed. It
hurt. The lace didn't break cleanly and it sent me flying with the
unicycle in tow. I got a pretty bad road rash and it scratched up my
seat, but thankfully no broken bones. It was almost as bad as the time
I cokered over a hidden patch of ice and was sent flying sideways

As far as shoe laces, i've had them wrapped up so tight that when i try
to go bail, my feet end up staying on. Also sucks like a popsicle.

The best I've seen was Siaferides face plant on The SINZ Tour. It
looked pretty impressive from where I was.

I never ever unicycle with shoelaces. It's dangerous. I had a few
hard faceplants when I first started riding. Thankfully that was on a
20".

That made me cringe just reading it.

I've got the shoelace wrapped around the spindle of the pedal twice.
The scariest time was when I was riding over to my friends house in the
pitch black at like 9:00 and it wrapped around. I was in the middle of
the street with a car coming. I had to drag my foot with the unicyle
attatched to it to the side of the road, with a piece of flesh on my
ankle also caught.
