Close call!

[carver]

Damn pedestrians!!! Anyway, this morning riding from my gf's to uni for my exam, was pouring down. Due to the weather I was taking extra care and pretty much riding like a car lol.

Going along College Hill Rd and there's a red light with heaps of backed up traffic, a nice big gap down the middle so sweet I'll just cruise down the middle. I was going nice and slow just letting the hill roll me and suddenly this woman who had decided to sprint across between the cars is on my side on the ground . Lucky I had my force-field on!!!

So pretty much she was running across and hadn't looked then just saw me in time, slammed on her feet brakes and bailed! I felt pretty sorry but couldn't exactly stop or do anything so meh. Was so her fault! Wasn't a pedestrian crossing was it!!!

God if she'd ran into me it would've been a decent mess, haha even a cop car just a few cars down .

Have you guys had many accidents/near misses with peds?

see the common theme here?
the problem is women!
blame it on them!

Oi! Lol, I've had more men pull out on me than I can list :P At least when women do it they acknowledge their mistake

If I'm in a 'dodgy' riding situation with traffic I find revving my bike and making myself heard works every time Also ALWAYS ride with your lights on is a good one.
