"Oh Shit" moments...

DisasterIRL, I hope that you've made a conscious decision by now to change your riding style. You were not far away from being seriously injured or killed. That's not a way to enjoy your riding.

I hope I don't come across as patronising, but I am genuinely concerned for your safety.

I feel it was more bad judgments at the time of these near misses rather than my riding style, that put me in danger.

Although as for the alleycat incident someone was quite close behind me and due to that wasn't in my situation, it was just the initial rush that got me in that situation.

I feel I am generally quite a safe rider, although as I said I can make bad judgments. But I have decided to think more about what I do before I do it as it's quite clear I wasn't thinking enough
