If it does happen, the things likely to go through your head will be just the same as everyone else during and after a bike accident. “Oh no, this can’t be happening to me!” – The very first thing thought you have will be denial. You think, “Nope. This isn’t real.” Well, sorry, but it is. “Okay. It happened, but I’m totally fine.” – You may try to hop up really fast after the accident, subconsciously thinking that if you can just get up and move around that it means you’re not injured at all.
