Permanent face scaring thanks to a dumb woman running straight into my path from the middle of the road after she panicked due to a truck revving to pass me. She was behind another ped who didn't move, presumably because he'd seen me. I'd just left the fucking hospital and was shipped straight back there to have some of Uxbridge Road pulled from my eye socket. Happy fucking days. My mad skills saved her from full impact. Of course next time I'm going to try and not swerve. Peds are softer than roads.

yeah I know. I hate that 'I'm just going skip across this nice empty bike lane' vibe that peds have, fuckers.

I had the mother of all ped crashes a few years ago, guy stepped clean out into the road on Westminster bridge. He was a tourist, just looking the wrong way for traffic i assume... it was combined with me having a quick look over my shoulder so when I looked round he was about a metre in front of me.. I hit him at full speed, knocked the wind out of him which put him out cold for about 2/3 minutes. Terrifying stuff! Spoke to the ambulance though and apparently he was fine.
My biggest regret is not taking the painkillers they were offering me, think I must have been in shock...
