First commute of the new decade and I get taken out by a pedestrian in Essex Road this evening. Young kid, about 12, with his dad and two brothers, steps out when I’ve got a green at the junction of Cross St. Both of us hit the deck, not badly but my nice new Bontrager light bracket snapped. Will have some nice leg bruises tomorrow though. Kid was shaken and apologetic, so didn’t make anything of it, accidents happen and I think he’s learned to look next time. But my accident-free start to the new decade lasted about 40 hours. Still better than my start to the 90’s, which lasted just over 7 hours before I got wiped out.
