I knew a guy that hadn't been off in 26 years, then some daft women pulled out of her drive with out looking and lunched him over her car.... Doh!

It's a matter of fact that the more you do something like riding a bike,the better the chance of falling off.[ or pushed in my case]

I've been riding for 19 years. I had my first accident after about three months. High side. Fun NOT. Second accident about a year after that. And then accident free up until Jan 2003 where I have since had three accidents each one worse than the previous.

Hopefully I have now ended this trend because I think if there is another one then Mrs Ape will probably put a hammer to my knee caps to make sure I never get back on a bike again.

Having tried the above I still got taken off on a roundabout but luckily
