Set off this morning, had gone about 50 yards, when I had to stop and ask a passing pedestrian to untangle my right shoelace from the crank.
And to add humiliation to embarrassment, he then proceeded to re-tie the lace.

GREAT story.
Had same problem, but managed to unwind myself.
Even pedestrians have their uses...

A problem I have also experienced - especially a hazard for those riding fixed wheel and coaster brake bikes.
Makes a great case for velcro straps.

Velcro win! Humiliating Kirst, but isn't it nice there are such friendly and helpful pedestrians out there?

I swapped the laces on the trainers I commute in for shock cord. It's like a very thin bungie strap, climbers use it to strap stuff to them selves. It's got a bit of stretch so you don't untie them.
