A new one for me....I was riding along on my way to work ignoring the cycle path to my left as it tends to lead to punctures, and most of my route is on rural roads with the rest of the traffic anyway so never keen on suddenly being segregated. This seems to annoy some motorists for some reason ;-) and on this occasion I did have a large lorry behind me for all of 50 to 100 yards, saw another lorry coming the opposite way, something flew from the cab window directly into my path and disintegrated, arrived at the spot to find broken glass so had to either ride through it or pull out just at the point at which the lorry behind was about to pass me. I executed a hasty right hand turn signal and pulled out and in again sharpish as lorry behind thundered past. All seemed a bit homicidal to me, beats the banana skin that got thrown at me the other day.
