If the peg drops half way down mid kick - which it is wont to do - it scrapes all the way along the side of your leg as you complete the swing.
Are you changing your biking wants/needs over time as technology progresses? or stuck in a time warp ?

Or that thing - and I've no idea how I did this so often, but I did - where one foot slips off the pedal but the other stays on, so the pedal comes wanging around and wallops you on the shin.
