I think it was when I was in my teens. I wasn't looking where I was going.

In nearly 60 years of cycling, that's not too bad a record! 8)

I think that I have confessed similar before on this forum. I'm not sure how old I was. Maybe 11? I was big enough to be on my first 10 speed with drop handlebars. I was riding along and chatting with a friend, and my only warning was a sort of squeak my friend made just before the moment of impact. :shock:

I ran into the back of parked car on my moped. I was 17 and posing outside the local girls school, far too busy studying the attractions as they left to notice.
Rode it back home too - although the front wheel was nearly touching the engine and the handling was not the best...
