I still have a nice scar on my shin from pedal bite. About 11 or 12 years ago. Man, does that hurt; takes you off the bike for 5-10 minutes because it hurts so much. I mean literally almost tear-inducing.

I’ve tried doing a wheelie, except I kept going back and landed right on my butt. Didn’t feel much pain at all though, probably the first and only time endorphines/adrenaline worked.

I’ve also crashed into a fence. Then there was that time I crashed into a guy on a highway, with oncoming traffic about to get a green light. Then there was another time when I slammed on the front brake, and flipped over the handlebars.

There is no way I could compile my childhood crashes. They wouldn’t capture the moment. All I know is that my limbs are intact and real pain is something I’m very familiar with. (I’m going back to the 60’s here young man). :^)
