No mishaps in 3 years on my 3.5 mile commute to and from work. I keep off of busy streets and use side walks and back roads. My son just got knocked off his bike last week though. I warned him about blind corners while biking on sidewalks. I bet he will remember now.

Sidewalks are for pedestrians not bicyclists. I've been run into three times by bicyclists riding (way too fast) on sidewalks. Only one time did the individual involved even stop to see if I was OK. Its especially bad in the city, where this happened. Maybe in suburbs cycling on the sidewalk makes sense but not in cities.
