Yes. While it still looks ugly and before it heals.

Were you wearing something like 661's that protect the back of the leg?
The 661's don't go all the way down to the achilles so that bit is
still vulnerable to pedal pin bites even if you wear the armor.

drug right down my leg.

Now you can say you just barley escaped a couger attack. You were so
close and he grabbed at your leg and scratched it but you got away.😄
I'll be your witness🙂

Pedal tracks down your calf are a rite of passage for muni riders (and
trials or street riders too).

My unintentional coasting bit yesterday would have given me some nice
pedal tracks if I had not been wearing my 661's. Since I had the 661's
on I suffered no physical damage and got to enjoy the comedy of the
UPD.

Earlier this summer I dug up the back of my calf, it looked sweet and
started to heal up nicely. Then a week or two later, I dug up the exact
same spot and ripped the scab off, digging in deeper. Now I've got a
fantastic reminder, a mocha colored three spoke gem of a scar.

You're lucky it didn't get infected. I was really worried when that
happened to me because right afterwards I wasn't thinking and rode
through a puddle and it splashed a bunch of nasty water right on my
open wounds. As soon as I got home I like immediately just straight up
poured alcohol on the cuts...and that really...really really really
stung..

Go buy yourself some 661's. Mine were about $26 at Blue Sky Cycling.
Cheap considering the potential consequences of not having them. They
don't guarantee that you won't get hurt, but they improve your
chances.

In the interest of full disclosure, I haven't been wearing mine lately,
but then again, I have plastic pedals and am too old to do crazy
tricks.
