Since I never was of racing caliber, I was spared the race-related crashes and other mishaps. On group rides I maintain a safe following distance, even when this means being relegated to the back of the pack, which is fine with me. I tend to do far more solo riding than anything else, plus a bit of casual small group cycling.
