I've been putting off the bottom bracket replacement for about a year
now, but yesterday about 10 miles from my truck I shut off the music
and heard clicking noises when I cranked. Given that it has over
38000 miles on it, I ordered a new one. I feel a little flutter when I
crank now when I make an effort to concentrate on it. Shame on me for
putting off such a relatively cheap easy repair.

Which makes me wonder: Has anyone ever heard of a total bottom bracket
bearing failure that rendered the bike unable to be pedaled?

I guess I'll wait for the new BB before I ride again.
Those are not common failures, in fact the noise usually drives people to distraction long before serious problems.
So yes, small incidence. Just not zero.
