In another thread by Vabs I said about telling my son that bikes can be dangerous.
For me I meant because other road users.
Of course bikes can be dangerous if you don't treat them with respect and ride like a idiot.
But I was thinking of how many times I've been in a accident on bikes and whose fault it was.
I've been off various bikes 6 times that I can remember and only once was it my own fault.
Car came out of a one way street and I hit that.
Run into from behind by a car at a junction.
Slamming my brakes on when a dog run out in front of me.
Knocked off by a taxi while I was overtaking and it turned right without indicating.
My cousin mucking about on his bike and knocking me off.
And the one which was my fault.
Driving slow in traffic and a taxi slammed his brakes on halfway across a crossing because someone walked out in front of him, clipped his rear light.
Just a thought that came in to my head as I was reading Vabs thread again.
