Default Did you ever get accidents riding a bike?

Getting two (instead of four) wheels, a motorbike is actually much more risky to ride than a car is. That's obvious Two times I almost broke my legs in bike crashes.

Did you ever get an accident riding a bike?

Yes, when I was still a novice at being a rider, we had a long trip. I got off on the right side of the bike:where the exhaust pipe was. I still have the visible circular scar on the inner side of my right leg.

Sure, I've had little accidents - nothing too major though. I've crashed and gotten road burn. I was never going too fast that I really got hurt. I only crashed when I was just learning. I hope I'm not jinxing myself.

My parents were in a bad accident, a truck hit them. My mom did a 360 and landed on her head, my dad went down with the bike. Both are ok today. My dad can't raise his arm past his shoulder (he was a welder). My mom broke several bones in her leg and arm.
