People that are guaranteed to crash shouldn't be riding at all.
It annoys me a little when I hear people telling newbies this nonsense. You may crash in the first year but it's not a certainty at all. How likely you are to crash depends on how good you are at it I reckon, if you're not very good then you're quite likely to crash, but that applies to veteran riders too.
TBH I think this "you will crash your first bike" stuff only really comes from people who did it themselves. "I crashed my first bike within 3 months, but it's okay, everybody does, and so will you." Erm no.
Ride cautiously, newbies, but don't have this "only a matter of time" ticking clock in your head. You control your own destiny!
