I'm a firm believer that everyone should remember their first bike crash. Mine was great. I was around four and it was probably about the first time I'd ever been allowed on the bike without someone walking alongside me (didn't have training wheels). I promptly took to the streets, forgot how to brake, managed to find a driveway with about five feet of elevation and went down the fucking thing head over heels. It was fantastic, and foreshadowing, because I spent the next eight years of my life crashing that bike in every other part of the neighborhood.
