pedal check

when your foot slips off your bicycle pedal, and the thing swings around and "checks" you in the shin.

can be very painful and messy if you were putting a lot of force down on it, especially if the pedal is pointy and metal for gripping shoes, as BMX pedals tend to be

tom: yo, i got a vicious pedal check riding my BMX last night.

jim: that sucks. i guess maybe you ought to wear shin guards with those beartrap pedals.
