I can't generate many weird anecdotes, anyway. I've had only one

Just like most cyclists' experiences, I dare say.

That's where you're wrong Frank. Your injury free cycling career is the
exception, not the rule.

Cycling for most people is probably not injury free.
The question is, what type of injuries are we to expect?

Is brain damage a valid expectation of riding a bike, versus
driving a car or walking?

I think skinned knees and elbows are probably the more likely
expectation. Head injury is certainly a possibility.

But then, head injury is certainly a possibility taking
your morning shower too, isn't it.
