Commercial rd last night, two cars in front of me travelling at speed. I had a few dozen Tsing Tao at lunch so was playing MASH. The nearest car quickly went to anchors across to the curb. With lightening reflexes I checked my right shoulder and swooped around him like a buzzard.
I looked ahead only to see the box of kleenex sitting on the rear parcel shelf of a Mercedes. He'd braked to let a car out ahead, and I'd mown into the back of him. Rolled off his boot and smashed my knee on the ground.
Hobbled up to his window to apologise. He was a large Russian type. I was frightened.
He laughed at me and drove off.
My knee is fat. My bike is fine. I am a fuckwit.
