Swinging leg

[RiflemanSmith]

Hi, you know when you are going to dismount and you instead of coming to a stop, and get off you swing your leg over and stand on one side of the bike.
Well if you do that a lot will it do your bottom bracket in?
Cheers.

I can't see why. You may loosen your crankarm and riding a bike with a loose crankarm will ruin the crankarm, but I don't think the weight on one side momentarily would do anymore damage than standing up to pedal, or climbing hills.

Thanks, I was just wondering as I would say the bb hasn't done more than 2000 miles.

I thought you were on about skiving

After reading the first part of your post i thought you were going to go on and say .... have you ever fallen flat on your face in front of a crowd of people or something

I thought bottom bracket was a euphemism . You wouldn't want to swing too wildly, or you could hurt the groin.

You could, at that.
