We've all fallen off our bikes at some point or another, and we've probably all had our share of scrapes as a result. But we wondered what the most common injury issues that pro cyclists face are.

From the less visible back or knee pain to the much more obvious broken collarbone - which seems to be almost a rite of passage in the pro peloton - we look into what aliments can befall cyclists.
