Current Events > What's the worst bicycle accident you've been in?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I almost got hit by a car once. Slid right into the side of this fucking guys car and yelled at him even though it was 100% my fault.

Then years later I was doing some X-games shit in a ditch and wiped out and the handle bar basically impaled me. That didn't feel good at all and ultimately led to my early retirement from extreme sports.

None, for I have never removed the training wheels.

I rode a bike without any handlebar covers

Wrecked and stabbed myself in the chest. No serious injuries however. Had to go to a children's hospital.

Apparently I also slammed on the brakes going down a steep hill and tumbled forward and off my bike.
---

Didn't get seriously hurt a few cuts and embarrassed.

Everyone was out front of my house at the basketball hoop and I decided to show off. Was riding by really really fast and hit the brakes to skid in, but hit the front brakes instead of the back brakes. Ended up flipping over the handle bars.

Turned down a side street after bombing a hill, scraped a good ten feet down the sidewalk then got pitched into a pile of gravel.

Also the time I popped a wheelie, then at the apex watched my front tire fall off and roll away.

I was riding on concrete square tiles along a beach. Big square titles. My bike went off one and when i turned back to correct it essentially jammed my front tire and flipped the bike.

I landed upright but the force made me still fall and i skinned my knees up pretty bad on the concrete.

I shat on the seat

never wrecked a bike as an adult but I only ride it for exercise or transportation

As a kid, one time I was looking at something behind me and ran straight into the back of a parked, empty flatbed trailer on the street

Flew off the bike and landed squarely on my back in the trailer bed while the front tire of my bike just wedged under the trailer so it was just standing upright

So... was more hilarious seeing how I didnt get hurt or my bike damaged

As a kid, I went too fast down a hill once and ran into a stop sign. I was unhurt but my poor decorative windshield on my bike got busted. It was cool before that. It made my bike look like a motorcycle for kids, lol.

Was riding my bike on a basketball court and while not paying attention I crashed into a basketball pole.

My shoe laces came undone and got caught in the bike chain. I fell off and started to cry when a neighbor came out and helped me. Why was she watching me?

Because clearly you require adult supervision.

I was making a turn and leaning a lot of my weight onto one handlebar when the rubber grip thing came detached, slid off the end, and I just completely fell over sideways with no warning at all since suddenly I had nothing to lean onto. Had a pretty big scrape on my face and my left knee, basically just cancelled whatever I was biking to that day (I don't even remember) and went straight home. was all fairly shallow surface injuries so it wasn't long lasting or anything but it really really hurt. my face was also a weird shape for like a week <_<

I also got hit by a car once, which sounds scary, except it was barely moving and I was completely stopped. Didn't even fall off my bike, was more just spooky than anything

That's funny. I came home from work one day and some neighbor kid wiped out royally on his bike somehow. I didn't see how but he had to be a big fuck up to wreck on a perfectly empty flat street. Anyway, it looked like he broke his leg and I asked him "Are you ok?" he said "NOOO!!" Then I saw his parents a few houses down and said "Alright I think your parents are gonna come get you" and went inside.
---

Nothing more than a couple of scrapes along the legs.

My neighbor snapped his forearm trying to copy a tailwhip I just did, so Im responsible for someone elses worst bicycle accident. Stupid kid should have known his role.

Yeahhhhhhh it was a lot like that. At least I asked if he was okay. I could have been an asshole and threw stuff at him but i'm above that.

Rode through a puddle, lost control, and fell off onto the street. Gashed my left knee big time - had to go to the hospital to get stitches (10 of 'em).
---

I was walking across the street and a guy on a bicycle ran into me and then yelled at me for being in his way.
---

Got the speed wobbles going down a big dirt hill. Went over the bars, no bucket. Nasty gash on my knee (stitches), awful road rash on my ass and arms. It sucked

I once tried stealing a bike and it ended up being tied to something with a steel cable and I fell off of it

But really I had my bike propped up and I was standing next to it and tripped and literally fell onto my bike. Took a big chunk out of my knee.

I was like 14 at the time. Summer 1998. Really great summer over all.

Me and two friends had spent most of the evening riding our bikes around, and we decided to go down to the creek to cool off in the evening. We were taking a gravel road through a patch woods down a hill. I decided to go really fast down a steep part that had a bend in it. As I came out of the bend, I found myself in a deep rut left a truck or a tractor. Since it was in the turn, I had a hard time keep my wheels in it.

I couldn't do so, and I lost control when my front wheel caught the side the of rut, and I fell hard. My body got pinned between the bike and the ground as I fell, and I bashed open my left knee and knee cap area really bad and scraped up my arm with road rash.

I was hobbled, and my friends had to help me back to my parents house. Somehow, I managed to not need stitches or break anything, but my leg swelled up and I had a gnarly looking wound. I still have a scar from it now.

I remember my mom picking pebbles out of my knee and dumping peroxide all over.

****

Worst crash was riding down a super steep hill. I was around 10, and the brakes locked (not hand brakes). I flipped up over the handle bars, and flung the bike over top of me since I managed to keep one hand on the handle bars. Busted my lip open, but somehow avoid major damage other than scratches. Extremely lucky.

It's never too late to learn amigo. I love riding.

I guess my worst was waiting at a stop light in the bike lane and some idiot ran over my foot when it was on the pedal and it ruined my cranks and my foot was fucked up for a while but the dude wouldn't stop so me and my brother chased him on our bikes and he got stuck at a red light behind another car and I punched in his windows. He tried to escape by driving onto the curb but got stuck haha.

I like that. This guy is now tied for 1st with the google video. Both great stories.

I can only tell you what I've been able to piece together from others, because I remember absolutely none of this.

I was eight or so, and my father decided to beat on me for fun. Usual day. This time though, I guess I got a good kick in when he was punching me in the face and I knocked the wind out of him. Huzzah! To counter this, he grabbed either a large wrench or a baseball bat, accounts differ, and chased me outside. I hopped on my bike and tried to escape.

There are three different stories as to what happened next. He threw it at me and it either lodged in the chain, lodged in the front wheel, or hit me in the back of the head. They all agree, however, that after that happened I went over the handle bars, landed on the top of my head straight into the road, and the bike continued forward and smashed into my face.

Good times.

Alright you're definitely in the lead now because this was also a domestic violence scenario mixed into a bike accident
