I just learned that my Best friend has bought himself a road bike. Since finding this out, I have heard all sorts of horror stories about people having nasty bike accidents. It seems that everyone who has been riding for a while has had at least one bad accident. I was talking to a friend on the weekend and she told me her boyfriend's dad lost his leg due to a bike accident. Others tell me that you should expect to go down once a year if you are an active rider.

I am curious: Who’s had a nasty accident, or who has been riding for a while and had no mishaps?
