I'd rather it were my own hands that anyone else's. If you are at the top of Sydenham Hill you can see all the way down to the traffic lights and, if there are no cars, it's pretty hard not to let gravity do its thing.
Anyone riding a bike or crossing the road or breathing in London traffic is putting his or her life in the hands of others, which is more scary.

You're taking your life in your own hands riding at 40mph on any busy London road. Risking your life by rushing places just like the bean tin drivers.
