happily minding my own business riding down finchley road in an empty bus lane, and a massive black lexus started indicating left to go down a side road, and i thought 'he's seen me in his mirror, i'll keep going' but he carried on going left, cutting me up, so a cue massive skid and full force applied to brake, still ended up sprawled across his bonnet, bike still attached to my feet. him & wife & kids all looked damn shocked, and he wound down the passenger window;
'are you alright?'
'yeah, i'm fine, just use your wingmirrors and watch where the fuck you're going'
he then drove off and stopped further up to see if i was actually alright and plenty of other drivers and pedestrians who'd seen the whole thing stopped to check if i was alright.
a few cuts and bruises and a bit shaken up, but me and my bike are all good. i think.
use your wingmirrors, cnut.
