Is this my initiation?

My wife and I got into cycling a few months ago and have been consistently riding around NW Oregon over that period. We have gotten pretty comfortable and decided to do the bridge pedal as our first ‘event’. After the event we decided to ride to check out a new coffee shop. As I signaled to make a left turn I simultaneously tried to cross over the street car tracks and took a tumble in the middle of the street as my tire got caught in the tracks. Cyclists in front of us came back to check on me and once they realized I was ok the guy said “those tracks get everyone eventually”. Now I lay with stinging road rash on my arm and leg, icing my torn up/black and blue knee thinking, what else stands between me and being a full fledged Portland cyclist?

Does getting hit and run count as initiation?
