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!
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.
