I hope you're ok, Oliver, be more careful next time, I know it's not your fault but with more attention you could may have avoided.
To be serious for a moment, I thought about that--you should be able to see into streets you cycle past. However, he was invisible behind the wall alongside the path he was coming out of, as he was shorter than the wall was high even when he was sat on his bike. I was also quite far to the right, more than a metre, which considering that there were parked cars was quite a lot. The issue was mainly that while I could stop, he could not. I didn't see whether he had his brake(s) covered, or whether he even had brakes.
Parks can be dangerous places.
Yes, yes. This was just alongside the park, of course, on what is effectively an estate road. I'll complain to one of the local residents. :)
