Someone dashed out across Agar Grove as I was turning left into it, tried to go wide around them but the sudden change in direction was too much for my tyres and down I went. Thankfully no damage other than a bit of swellbow and some scuffed bar tape. Twice I've gone down at that junction now!
Then this morning a lady turning left from Roman Way into Offord Road went down on slippery surfaces. She was OK but had a nasty graze on her knee and road grime all over her cheek. Stayed with her for a while, she was riding the adrenaline for a good 5 minutes but I could see that shakiness coming on so I recommended she go back home as it was nearby and take an hour or two to feel human again before going to work. I hope she took my recommendation, I didn't want to be too forceful in my suggestion in case I came across as a creeper.
