I took a spill with my kids over a bridge that had black ice. Luckily everyone was ok.
We all wear helmets, we almost exclusively use bike/walk infrastructure, and we take it slow.
The biggest risk in my mind is interacting in any way with cars. And so I avoid cars on our routes as much as possible. And I regularly “break the law” by riding on sidewalks because paint on the road is not bike infrastructure and my life is more valuable to me than some ticket for a ridiculous law.
