6 o'clock this evening heading up Dalston lane towards lower clapton road, I just get to the lights opposite Mare street when some wanker on a mountain bike decides to ride out onto the crossing straight in front of me. I smashed straight into him go flying the bounce up straight into adrenalin fuled expletive mode and the cunt jumps on his bike and scarpers down Mare street as I'm shouting "and you're just gonna fuck off then wanker". Plenty of people about checking to see if I'm alright and in utter disbelief that he just fucked off.
Couldn't tell what the damage to me or the bike was but the bike looked a mess, handle bars had done a 180 and the brake levers had popped out of their mounts. So carried me and the bike home (just round the corner, fortunately) and looks like I've not got anything more serious than big old bruises to my hands and legs and after checking the bike everything's fine with that too.
Lucky, very lucky!
