On my bicycle commute home I discussed my past bicycle accidents. The majority of my early accidents involved riding too fast on turns with loose gravel in the road. Make sure to have your outer crank arm down and put as much body weight over that outer crank arm on the turns to increase your traction, and keeping your center of mass lower to the ground can also help. The majority of my more recent accidents involved unclipping too late from my clipless pedals when learning to ride clipless. Whenever you come to an intersection I recommend unclipping early to avoid a fall. I generally only unclip one foot. The majority of my most recent accidents involved falling on the ice due to riding too fast and without studded tires in the winter. I recommend studded tires whenever the temperature falls below freezing - and this can happen as the sun sets earlier in the winter so don't forget you may need them later at night after leaving work! I have never crashed into another vehicle, person, or a tree, thankfully. Stay alert, and be safe out there. If you ride reasonably you should have little to no trouble at all. Thanks for watching!
