I've only got two scars from cycling;
1 on my forehead, riding geared, chain slipped out of the saddle, foot went down, I went over the bars, landed on my face.
1 on my elbow, hurtling downhill on the left of slow traffic, car turned completely legally in front of me, I slammed on the brakes and somersaulted into the side of the car.
Most of my injuries come from 15 years of rugby;
Broken all my fingers at least once each.
Dislocated a few fingers.
Broken both thumbs.
Broken my nose twice.
Broken my right big toe.
Broken the scaphoid and first metacarpal on my left hand.
Mashed up my ankle.
Have now got rough rotator cups in both shoulders.
Chipped 5 or 6 teeth.
Torn my right bicep.
Last but not least, I dislocated my left kneecap (a la Chris Crash) after it "accidentally" collided with another players head, he got away with concussion, lucky boy.
