42. I originally assumed it was balance issues, but I actually got tested and zero balance issues.

If however you are coming to a stop sign and put your foot down to rest on the curb and the curb isn't exactly where you thought it was ...or if you have to go off the sidewalk to let someone in a wheelchair get buy and you misjudge the depth of the drop off. Yeah, it's quite possible to fall off your bike without it being a balance issue. And trust me, at 78 I ride very leisurely.
