I'm not going to say everyone will crash, as that can probably be proven false.

But I think more people crash than don't. But I'd also guess most people crash their bicycles a few times too.

Oh yea now that's true! All of your children will eventually get injured riding their bicycles! There's no doubt about that one!

I haven't gone down other than dropping my bike in my garage while trying to back it out with me not even on the seat.

But I've had a shit ton of close calls. One close call involved me rolling about 65mph at nighttime and coming so close to hitting a deer that I brushed it's tail and could see the top of it's back. I was also on 1 wheel with the rear tire the highest off the ground it's ever been and then going into a 1 wheel wobble and when I sat down came very close to a tank slapper but gassed out.

I've always had very good driving skills, even as a teenager. Even driving a F450 with a backhoe on the back through Atlanta rush hour traffic I've never had a close call. Infact I've never been in a wreck and only in a wreck as a passenger once.

But I'm sure my time will come.
