Anyone here who rides bikes has NOT broken a bone?

I've broken 3 and all were on a bicycle.

Never broken anything and I'm a MAMIL who rides about 10k miles a year. Had a few spills and crashes. Helps to not be an edgelord who thinks crashing is manly and riding brakeless fixies with no lights at night going the wrong way is a smart idea.

I've broken my elbow, but not riding. I also got a hairline fracture in the arch of my foot, but that was while running.

I've only ever broken one bone in my life and it was because some jackass crashed into me on a group ride, now I am a bionic man with a steel-reinforced collarbone. Cycling is pretty safe though really, I've been road and mountain biking for decades at this point and never had anything worse than a sprained shoulder despite plenty of crashes, and almost all of those crashes could have been avoided if I hadn't been 'going for it' on technical features, or riding home at night after drinking.

Nothing broken, but if I took up mountain biking I think it would just be a matter of time since my reaction time sucks.

I have never broken a bone in my life and I had a lot of crashes that should have seriously injured if not killed me on bicycles and motorcycles.
Highest crash velocity was about 70 km/h while wearing just helmet, shorts and a T-shirt.

I broke my collar bone by falling out of bed or something when I was a child. Took a while to get fixed, because the first time my parents sought medical attention regarding my injury, the wrong collar bone was investigated. I've fallen from my bikes many times, mostly off-road. I've never suffered an injury requiring professional attention as the result of an accident on my bikes. On one occasion however, a motorist maliciously applied the brakes, causing me to collide with his vehicle and damage several teeth.

It's actually pretty much the best bone to break. Provided it doesnt pierce the protective sack that it's in, it's basically designed to be broken.

Also currently shacked up due to a collar bone. Not by any means the first fracture I’ve had, but out of the 6 bones I’ve broken this is the first one because of a bicycle. I rode freestyle bmx for years as a kid, then I commuted to class on a roadie in college, and have been goofing off on road and MTB for the last couple years since then. I figure 20 years of really consistent riding is worth one solid injury.

> I just broke mine black out drunk riding this Halloween

the amount of times i have had no recollection of riding 10km home after 2 bottles of wine + dope is frightening

+ i did bike trials and huge ass drops and just plain crazy shit when i younger [pictured 2005]

+ i dropped inner city escalators and big stair gaps on my dualy when i was younger

= no broken bones not even any gnarly scars. I am one truly lucky motherfucker.

Now you got me thinking about it..... i have done some really dumb shit. I should not be here.

I ride my XC mountain bike several times a week, weather permitting, and have done so for about seven years. I've also done a little touring, but don't do any regular road riding. I've fallen dozens of times and never broken anything. Just today I bashed my face into a tree and cut my arm up a little, and the bruises from the fall before that haven't even healed yet. It's pretty rare that I feel like I had a close call and might have injured myself if I'd been less lucky. I can think of four times that that's happened, including today because it's the only time I've ever hit my face and I was lucky not to have injured my right eye. I'm generally pretty confident in my ability to fall without seriously hurting myself.

I did break my arm in a skiing accident once.

There's a few times I've crashed when I should have broken a bone but I didn't, just got massive hematomas and soft tissue damage instead. My bone density is at the top of what a DXA scan can measure for some reason.

I think I might have cracked a rib when I was a kid, we were jumping off of drops on BMXes and I stabbed myself in the chest with the handlebars on a landing. Couldn't breathe in for a good half minute and my side hurt like a bitch for a while, but I never told my parents about it or went to the doctor.
Now I have a hard lump sticking out under my right nipple.

I always thought if I broke a bone, I'd fucking know it, so I thought I really just fuckolated myself, MAYBE pulled something, and that if I just got home, it would feel better in the morning.
Walked from the Delaware all the way out to West Philly just kinda moaning softly. Good times, thank God I dont remember the actual break.

Do you drink milk? I'm paranoid my bones might be weak because I haven't drank a lot of milk since I was like 14 years old (24 now).
Never broken a bone but I only cycle to work and don't have to use cager roads so I don't have accidents.

It has nothing to do with color, it has to do with being a mammal, retard
Just because your body doesn't reject lactose, it doesn't mean your organism needs it

why would I strap weight to my back when it could go on a rack

but I guess my camelbak fully loaded is like 9 freedom weights or so

That said, it's still not remotely the same as you know, supporting the weight of one's whole body.

The jarring effect of running is a huge part of the stimulus that promotes healthy bones. Riding on a smooth road doesn't subject the rider to this.

You realize milk weakens your bones, right? The 'milk is good for your bones' lie is not only false, it's ironic and the complete opposite of the truth. Yeah milk has calcium but cow milk isn't good for humans and while it does contain calcium, it also leeches calcium from your bones and leaves your bones more brittle.

This is also reflected in the fact that MTBers have higher bone densities than roadfags.
