"Oh Shit" moments...

I went from an "oh shit" moment to a "fuck yes" moment earlier on my ride to work. Riding along fairly fast on a clear road when I see a blind guy with a cane feeling his way out of a shop towards the road, I assumed he'd stop but he didn't, stepping out into the road right in front of me, I couldn't really dodge him because he had his cane right out in front of him in the road so I did a super sweet skid stop, missing him by inches (totally forgetting that i'd fitted a brake a couple of days ago). I must have looked cool as shit (or like a total dickhead for not even touching my brake as I hurtled towards a blind man)

at the end of the day, it's still your fault if you hit the poor blind man.. peds are still more powerful than drivers/cyclists like us..
