I’ve ridden away from both of my adult crashes. Both were low speed.

The first, I was doing a “reverse ride” where I loaded the bike on the car and drove to one of my typical turnaround points then rode almost home, then back to the car. With about a mile left, I crashed coming off a bike/pedestrian bridge. Not sure what caused it - slick painted line, pedal strike, brain fart. I was scraped up a little, but was able to ride back to the car.

The second time, rode to breakfast with a couple friends. Continuing the ride after breakfast I tangled with a slow rider on a MUP - my fault, should have more careful making the pass. I decided to ride home instead of continuing the ride. Turned out I had broken the tip of my little finger - about the least significant break you could have.

OK, sort of had a third one. Tombayed in the driveway when I was a little slow unclipping after a ride. Didn’t really have to ride home since I was already there.
