why the f*** can't they think of other road users before they ride out into traffic to get to school before the bell rings
I was coming up the street beside the Don Buck Rd school (for those who know west auckland) it's a mild downhill, that then goes flat quite sharply, so easy to see what's going on, anyway cruising through stopped traffic up there at about 30k/h, and wtf, stupid kid in front of me has appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the road for no apparent reason, so i slam on the brakes, hard as i can, back would be lifting if my tyres weren't only 10mm wide, so the front and rear lock up, ride straight into his front wheel, graceful roll through the air with cleats still attached to shoes, sky ground sky ground, and by some friggen miracle don't tear my new $500 winter lycra gear in Quick.Step team colours, same as what Tom Boonen wears don't you know, bought it yesterday, but when i get up, when it flicked back over the gutter to almost scrape against some other kid walking down the footpath, the pedal smacked me in the leg, hurt like hell, and thought i'd mildly twisted my ankle, wish i'd thought to swipe at the little bastard, as he deserved a good clip over the ear for this stupid act of inconsiderate pedalling, and no it wasn't that i was following to close, it was that cars were stopped all around me and he never thought of the possibility that other vehicles could be using the road, and that he was born to a frizzy-haired meat-packing family that would have made Ayn Rand proud as an example of what her protagonists were the opposite of,
so now i have a bit missing out of my leg and it hurts like hell!! i hate primary school students.
