You must be an inexperienced cyclist. I say that because, usually the experienced cyclist has had more than just a few spills.

I've been riding for decades and I've had over twenty spills for certain. That's just as an adult! Most of my spills involved wet surfaces. However, I've also been downed a couple times on fast descents. Just this past July 3rd, I went down real hard an almost got clipped by a sports car. I dislocated my shoulder and ripped an inch of hand skin off (please get gloves!)...

I'm accustomed to falls. I've adapted to the routine. You get up! Brush yourself off! Check your bike! If you can, you remount and ride to your destination. You ride home immediately, if you just want to recuperate!

Adaptation and experience is key...
