Sitting here with a messed up right hand, wrist and arm, and just 3 months on from a dislocated knee, it's good to know I am fighting off old age whilst picking up cycling injuries!

Only if they are evenly spaced out in time , otherwise it could indicate an increase tendency for  accidents 

I was a runner. Surrey county class sprinter and cross country for training in the winter.
Had to stop that when I did my knee in.
Swimming, don't like water or cycling which I then discovered I love doing.

Collect my Giant TCR 0 today after major parts replacement

Tomorrow should be wonderful, unless it's raining then likely the old Holdsworth.

Deep tissue massage last night which nicely sorted my painful left shoulder and sorted some other minor inggles
Feeling good today

Re-read Craig's injury list makes mine seem o.k.

Going back 4 years now, while out on my 93 vintage Airborne Cosair, shortish ride after late shift,
haring back the canal path, i misjudged and clipped one of the gate posts by a ball hair,
in a split second i was a passenger, the front end gives and swerves i did a face plant still clipped onto my bike,
2 fellow cyclists came by moments later and sat me up, i was bleeding from my nose and mouth,
skin had came off my nose, top lip, bottom lip and chin, where i thought was a couple of stones in my mouth,
i spat it out with the blood and infact was my two front tooth, i was covered in blood down my cycling top,
my helpers said i was in a bad way and offered to call an ambulance,i said no i wasn't far from home,
i just need my breath back and said i just want back on my bike, (Tom Simpson 1967) i guess i was in shock,
for 2 weeks i was drinking cold tea through a straw, eating yogurt and rice pudding,
my teeth had smashed down on my bottom gums and ulcers had set in, for about a month i was walking gingerly,
i was like a car crash victim, the force and weight of my bike had give me the effect of whiplash,
my neck,shoulder and ribcage was sore, my left hand was sprained and inside of my right thigh had kinda muscle pull,
don't want to babble on,the dental work for the next 6 months was another story.

Was mad at scratching my lovely Titanium Airborn.

It's surprising how many "offs" and/or near misses  you do have as a cyclist. I guess one day I will come unstuck one time too many and decide it's time to quit. I'm not there yet but I can probably count more than a dozen very near misses due  to reckless motorists.

Most common are those who go charging across roundabouts when I'm right in front of them and have right of way. I've even had idiots coming up the right hand lane and cutting across me to turn left while I'm on the roundabout. 

ive also had near misses with pedestrians just stepping out in front of me without even looking. They assume no engine sound means it's clear to cross. If you are going downhill, it's very dangerous to try and stop in time.

Third most common risk are cars that approach a junction and shoot four feet over the line. I then have to swerve around them to avoid a collision only to find another driver overtaking me and boxing me in. 

No no wonder some cyclists give up.

Whilst the off-road spills are part of the experience with mountain biking, I do worry about the amount of drivers who have almost caused serious accidents. 

@craig, thought about giving up many a times, tried running but i just don't enjoy it, no wind in the hair feeling,
no poseur factor with colourful jersey and lycra, don't get to explore the country as much as on the bike,
people you see jogging don't look like they're enjoying themselves,but most of all the knees will eventually go bad.

@singularity, Part of the reason i have migrated to cycle paths is the reason you posted about driver behaviour,
some cyclists are our own worst enemy, light jumping and pavement cycling, riding 2/3 abreast on single carriage roads is just stupid,
but i find pedestrian are just as bad, time and again i have come across them walking off pavements at junctions when you are turning,
i have nearly hit them a couple of times,it's a if cyclists don't count or they could stop, same on canal paths,
some will not move slightly to let you buy or if from face on, they keep walking together taking up the whole path till you unclip and put your foot down, then the begrudged single file ensues, not conscientious at all.

@martin, think your tip worked, thanks.

There are a few things you can do to reduce the risks.
Driving a car for years helps.
Rear view mirror on the bike
Rear lights which I will now have on permanently even in daylight
Assume everyone is out to kill you
'Know' certain cars are usually driven badly. BMW, some Mercs, some Audis, some VWs, a lot of 4x4s, a lot of vans, some big trucks
Helmet, bright  clothes, reflective flashes
