"Oh Shit" moments...

Last week I was riding down Talbot Road towards Portobello Road. I was passing the opening to Colville Houses which is a kind of short, dead-end residential street. It was about 8:30am and I still hadn't woken up properly, but I caught something out the corner of my eye and thought "that's odd, it looks like a pram is rolling down the pavement onto the road into oncoming traffic". It was, and there was a fucking baby in it sleeping happily away. I nipped in front on the oncoming car to try and stop the traffic/the pram before disaster ensued when out of nowhere the/a mother came running down the pavement and caught it. She kind of smiled awkwardly at me and then pulled the buggy back up the pavement without uttering a word. Not really sure she was aware what she very narrowly avoided happening.

You hero!
