According to an article on Sky News a cyclist was found today with second degree burns to his legs after he went on fire from peddling to fast on his bike.  The incident occured in Poland to Mieczyslaw Jasinski, who was described as a ‘human torch’ by witnesses.

I have to say in all my years of following cycling I have never heard of such a thing happening?  This is insane.  It’s terrible to hear that the guy was seriously hurt but I would love to have heard what sort of speed he was peddling at and how this managed to happen?

I guess it’ll make us all think twice about spinning the legs on tomorrow mornings coffee runs!!!
