I got pretty shaken up this morning when someone tried to kill me just to make a point. Red van man was annoyed because I was going too slowly for him, so he whizzed round me to the right then crossed right in front of me insanely quickly and very close to take a left turning. I mean, I was fucking close to being in an ambulance. It actually really upset me that people like that exist; people that actually want you dead or seriously injured. WTF? But I put it out of my mind after a couple of minutes and got on with getting on with it.
Anyway, my point is, that there's a lot of bad in this world, but you can't let in ruin your life. Just concentrate on the positive. The fact that you're back on your bike after an accident is fantastic - try and banish negative thoughts and worry, build your confidence slowly and be happy that you can ride a bike at all.
I hope the poor woman on the bridge is ok. My thoughts are with her.
