Long story short, i was cycling with my tripod on my handle bar and my tripod went into my front wheel, along with the front spoke that broke, the tripod's rubber feet and the metal at the bottom of the feet also bent off. Metal could be bent back into its original position with a screw driver, albeit not perfect as before, but my rubber feet that was there still could fit, but broken.

An option would be to super glue it, is that a good idea or should i just get the rubber feet instead? And also, where can i find a cheap tripod bag, because the bag that came with it also broke with the impact when it went in the wheel.

Go to your local pharmacy. Cane tips work very well as tripod leg tips. And best of all, their cheap. You won't have to pay crazy prices for manufacturer replacements. I did this not long ago and it works great.

Running with scissors is a bad idea, too. ;)

You can't order parts from the manufacturer?

Ace Hardware (or any hardware store) is where I got mine. I found packages of many sizes and a variety pack of all sizes.

I'm sure you can - if you like paying $12.95 for a piece of molded rubber that cost 1 cent to manufacture.
