Anyone else care to own up to nearly killing themselves this morning?

Nope? Just me...
Nope, buzzed stright through the middle of 2 scooters this morning, there was plenty of room, at least 1/2 inch on each side

Last night though I had a wibble on the front end when filtering between two cars and one decided to move towards me with the passenger gorping at me out of the window. That was scary.

All good though.

Monday morning on my pushbike. Roads slippy as a slippy thing. Was gently srubbing speed off so I could take my exit, both hands on the brakes so couldnt indicate my intention, low morning sun, confused car driver who couldnt see because of the sun, you can guess the rest... Was a bit close but no harm done.

Not today, but as you may have seen, tried to kill myself (not on purpose of course) on Monday. Glad your ok though, quickly makes you wake up doesn't it???
