All those big pileups we see in races.. they would almost always be single rider crashes if the riders weren't in a pack.
You step outside our bubble and people think we're nuts. Even MTB riders.
I've had one road crash where I got hit by a car. Every other crash I have had was caused by being in a group pileup. I have never had a solo road group crash personally.

I’ve never crashed riding on paved roads except for three times. All three were in races and because of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
