Nightmare this morning... CS8 didn't seem too bad, but the pedestrian who was looking at her phone and decided to step out in front of me as I went through a green light was a definite high point. Went into her at 35kmh, there was no way I could avoid her. Not a scratch on her, but my elbow is one massive wound now and the stem on my Bianchi needs straightening. All she cared about was her phone possibly being scratched. Great day.

I like to think I'd have picked it up and smashed it.

Yelled "OH FUCK NO BRAKES!!! SHITTT I CAN'T STOP" through the left turn at Westminster onto Embankment - it was that or stop on a green. Seemed to do the trick, no peds stuck to my handlebars.

In hindsight, that's what I should have done... Hopefully should be able to get the bike sorted this evening. If anyone sees a Bianchi Pista with wonky bars going through the streets of Battersea tonight, well... that'll be me.
