I agree that when it comes to bikes it's not if you drop it, it's when. When people asked me if I'd ever dropped my bike my response was always not yet. (Can't say that anymore after this weekend.) My dad is the best rider I know or have ever known. Used to race bikes in the 80's and has been riding since before he was my age. He still drops a bike about once every three years. It's not just your experience that will keep you from hitting the deck it's other factors. (Other vehicles mostly.) That the people mentioned didn't ever drop is cool. But that generally isn't the case. I tell every one that wants to get on a bike that if the idea of falling off that bike scares them they're better off not getting on one.
