Only accident/wreck was a fall on ice. (non-studded tires) Banged/bruised my hip, elbow and knee pretty good, but was able to continue on my ride once I was done crying.

Look something like this?:

I've tracked 707 bike-commutes since 2011 for 14,000 miles (est); and a total of 24,000 miles. I have zero collisions with other road users (cars or bikes). I've had scary near-misses (see clip below), and a couple solo slams like the one above. Never injured (beyond bruises) and never damaged the bike.

(language warning... I use all the words Mom told not to use)
