I've been on this cycling adventure about 10 months now. About 2 months ago I had my first wreck. Pretty bad - high speed, broken rib, lot's of scrapes but I figured I was about due. 3 weeks later another one. This time concussion and lots more skin left on the pavement. Today was sheer stupidity on my part - didn't get out of my pedals - but another skinned elbow & knee.

That got me wondering should I get out the training wheels or are wrecks more common then we let on? So for those who are out riding at least 3-4 times per week, pushing the hammer down, how often do you wreck? The wreck could be your fault or someone else's.
