I don't remember specific numbers, but:

- I've done the horizontal trackstand at red lights because I unclipped too late/leaned to my clipped-in side
- I've ended up sprawled in the middle of an intersection because my foot slipped trying to clip in
- I've been out-ridden by only one female cyclist that I remember. She was on a nice black/gold Bianchi and I couldn't catch up to her no matter how hard I tried. Didn't really hurt my pride or anything since I had just gotten my roadie and she looked like she had been riding for a good long time. There will always be somebody better than you out there.
- I stepped off a curb in Florence, Italy trying to catch a glimpse of a passing female cyclist trying to see what she was riding and rolled my ankle and almost got hit by a car
- back in my MTB days, I rode into a basketball pole because I was talking with my riding partner and wasn't paying attention ahead
- still back in my MTB days, I pulled an emergency stop Mr. Stem had a friendly encounter with the Boys.
- my first real memory of riding on two wheels when I was a kid was almost getting hit by a delivery truck as I was leaving the driveway.
- I fell backwards trying to ride up a loose dirt slope with on my commuter with slicks carrying a 30 pound backpack full of groceries
