Peds!

a ped on Oxford street di the same, she looked one way, the wrong way and plundered right into my path.
Next thing that happens is that all her bags in one hand, filled with designer clothes, chocolates , you name it, hooked onto my drop levers and swoooosh!! they went everywhere!
ANd i mean everywhere.
Her stuff was all over the place.
I helped pick her stuff up, but she was lucky not to have worse me thinks. close shave.

Years ago on Kingsland Rd, some idiot was crossing the road diagonally, approaching me while I was being passed by traffic, and couldn't go kerbside due to parked cars. They were carrying a coat over there arm (an expensive one I think), and it got hooked over my bar-end. I only just managed to keep control, as the coat was wrenched out of their hand.

I kept riding, regathered my composure, and nonchalantly unhooked the coat from my bar-end when I passed the first decently sized filthy puddle in the gutter.

I was young and angry back then.
