So this morning, I bimble around the Newington Green roundabout as some bloke steps off the curb right in front of me and wanders into the middle of the road. He then just kind of stands there confused and looks at me like a deer in the headlights!
It all happened so fast I had no time to do anything but shave off a little bit of speed. Guy caught my bike in the nuts and cracked my plastic windscreen into a million pieces. I didn’t come off though, and he wasn’t hurt, so it was all good.
He was quite cool about it and offered to pay for the windscreen. I said I got it off a mate for 20 quid so not to worry about it. When asked why he was so ****ing out of it, he said one of his mates just died. I said fair play, glad you’re not hurt, and be more careful crossing the road before you get yourself killed… So resolved amicably, no hassle, but still… nice little shocker on the way to work, for sure.
