I have a couple. I have three parallel lines on my right shin from a fall I took last year when I rode over some wet leaves and my bike slid out from under me -- I think I must have landed on the pedal. I should have had stitches for that because it took forever to heal and it left a pretty bad scar. I normally don't care about scars and wounds and looking pretty, but it happened right before our "wedding" (the party we threw five months after we got married), and it was still a little bloody and gross on the day of the party, and it showed below my knee-length dress. My niece gave me some princess bandaids to put over it, but it was still not the look I was going for!
My knees have a bunch of little scars from a mountain biking trip we took right around the same time. I fell constantly that day and I kept managing to find rocks with my knee. My right knee has had a big lump on it ever since, and that was over a year ago. I also now have a purple spot on the inside of that same knee, from falling with my clipless pedals. Those are more noticeable than the actual scars.
