I was coming into town this morning on the 400 and its a four lane road, pretty busy. trafffic is slowing and is about 40kph. so I glance over my right shoulder to make sure nothings in my blind spot before doing the trickle/filter through to the frontof the queue.
turn my head around and the car queue in front has nearly stopped and I am about 4 feet away from the right rear light of the car in front. faaaaaark.
no time to think.... but all that counter steering practice came to good use because I missed the car by about 30mm ... went between the two rows of cars.
I reckon my heart rate spiked at about 230.
Irony is, the reason I have the bike today is that its going in to have the brakes done (new braided line, new fluid, new pads....) and a WOF. Very nearly didnt have a bike at all!
I hate commuting.
