Basically, should I just expect to come off at some stage during my biking career? How many of you have come off, or been in an accident in the past 12 months? |
You need to evaluate the risk for yourself, assume you will come off. Biking is fun and enjoyable but not without risk. Your riding style obviously contributes to the risk but sometimes people do stupid things and you will invariably get caught up in it. I came off a few weeks ago and it was my fault, thats life. You have to just get back on the bike if you feel its still for you.
