Riding not-fast along Lower Road, black man built like a brick shithouse runs out in front of me whilst looking in opposite direction. I shout but it's too late.
Cue being tackled by him, flying over the road, sprained wrist, cut and bruised knee, hip, and massive dent in the nameplate of the right DA STI. Bike seems okay, both hoods are bent inward a bit now (one from him hitting me, and one from the serious pocket of gravity on that stretch of road).
Eyeballed frame, seems that I broke its fall. Will look closer for damage when the paracetamol kicks in.
