I was on my way home today riding up Hampsted Rd when, out of no where, some sack of shite driver swang out in front of me from the other side of the road.
I jammed on my front brake as an evasive maneuver, but, adrenaline got the better of me and i was thrown over the front wheel. I leap frogged the bars and (here's the silver lining) jammed my cleat through her headlight as i fell. Ended up on the floor with cuts and bruises but nothing else.
She got out and asked me to pay for her headlight - even the bulb smashed, i told her to fuck off and picked up my bike. She was pretty pissed but luckily the guy behind me saw the whole thing and told her to shove it.
Not quite sure why i'm porting this, just a rant. Watch out for cunts.
