I've been riding a bike for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Edinburgh, even then a busy, traffic infested city. From the age of 9, I cycled to and from school, 5 miles each way into and out of the city centre, and during my teenage years went everywhere night and day on my bike. I still cycle a lot, but mostly off road these days.
Passed my driving test at 17 which is 43 years ago now and so far, ( touch wood, rabbits feet etc ) I've never had an accident on the road on my bike or in the car.
I can't make the same claim about my off road mountain biking record I'm afraid! My backside has hit a hillside often enough to develop callouses!
