I don't own ANY of them and never have.
Had a few adventures in my youth, the first bike I had was a tricycle and my mum and dad had this back alley that went straight for about 200 metres and then there was a bend.
Well off I went down the straight bit, doing fine, my dad was thinking "no problem here riding a bike"....until I got to the bend, and went staright into a wall, I didn't know how to turn!
When I was a teenager I got my first racing bike, and kept falling off - it was like slow motion, I would get on the bike, all settled, then I would take my feet off the ground and the bike would slowly keel over - I was hopeless.
I also used to hopeless at PE at school, we used to have do a 'Tarzan' type thing and jump on a trampolene and catch onto a rope, I was useless.
One day I bounced so high I smashed into the climbing rails on the wall, blood everywhere.
Football injuries didn't see me fair better, I have apparently got 'weak ankles' and whenever I played always seem to turn on my ankle, or just land badly etc - I could run fast though.
My ankle suffered even more a couple of years ago, the day after we came back from Orlando I fell down the stairs and fractured my right foot -off work for 6 weeks.
I also slipped and fell on my back last year on the wet cobble stones outside the Pirates ride - nothing to do with my ankles though.
