What does 乗ろうなんてした mean here?


> だいたい、どうして乗れもしないギアに乗ろうなんてしたのよ?

I think the translation is "Why did you get into the gear you can’t even ride,
anyway?"

I guess なんて here emphasizes the previous part (乗れもしないギアに乗ろう), but I can't
really understand using of 乗ろう. ～ろう forms volitional or presumptive verbs and
it doesn't seem to work here.




なんて is phonic change from など と. In short, 乗ろうなんてした is the same as 乗ろう など と した
or "tried to do such a thing as getting into".
