2008-09-24 - Rider Down/Fatality, Holborn

That bit about dumb luck sums it up for me. I reworked my entire route to work as a result of one close encounter with an HGV that scared the shit out of me some years ago. The route I take now only mixes me with lorries for about 300 yards and I have a bus lane to ride in and they're stationary and won't be turning left.
Not everyone is that lucky to have a simple ride into work.

AlexB, doesn't your post sum up how being a skilled and sensible rider massively reduces your exposure to danger?

I don't know why I'm posting in this thread... I'm just jinxing myself.

Peace
