I was knocked off by an errant driver this morning. I was heading up Newlands Park towards Sydenham, filtering past stationery traffic when someone decided that the delay was too much and began to execute a three point turn, just as I was passing them. For a split second I thought I was going to get away with it but the car just clipped my rear wheel and I went down on my left hand side.
The bike is fine bar a couple of scratches and I'm relatively unscathed with some mild abrasions on my ankle, elbow and left buttock. The driver was very apologetic, and admitted fault and has promised to ring me later to check to see if I'm okay. Let's see if my faith in human nature is mis-placed.
