I don't rely on luck when cycling either, or fate. By cycling like an idiot you create your own misfortune, and possibly other road users'.
My daughter loves miss mouse. Great name by the way.
I try not to cycle like an idiot but edscoble has awarded me the Darwin Award and other labelled me crazy, including myself. So I hope some lee way for adrenaline rushes every now and then are understood.
You don't happen to ride a trick bmx fixed bike that's purple?

How old is your daughter FixedStar?
-
My youngest is 10. From the moment he was born, the very idea of deliberately putting myself in a position that could mean he grew up without a dad went out the window with other childish things.
You have a child.
You have a responsibility to that child.
Don't be a dick and grow up. If you're old enough to have a child then you really need to stop acting like one yourself.

I hear your perspective and I have friends who quit surfing because they had children then followed the same logic. I get your position.
Not really planning to ride a granny bike now or quit entirely.
Some people quit due to responsibilities and that's fine. While others push themselves even harder when they have responsibilities. It's your choice the same it's mine.

This...
A pissed off cunt in a car doesn't give a fuck about ramming you n fucking you up or killing you, they'll just say you rode like a cock n caused the accident n get away with a slap on the wrist.
I was in a really bad motorbike accident, riding safely, obeying the law for a change when my mates missus smashed into me. I got my life wrecked n ten years plus recovery, she got a driver awareness course n that was an accident she was proven to of caused -

That's the thing, nobody telling you to quit, let alone ride a granny bike (whatever they may be).
You're making it sound like that there's no way you can have fun without "smacking" a car up.
You're putting yourself in situation that increase the likelihood of receiving several injuries, even fatality.
*"When its your time" *my arse.

Literally 'oh shit' moments the last few mornings.
The contraflow cycle lane on Petty France goes past Wellington Barracks. Horseguards are based there and take the horses out at 4-5 in the morning.
The cycle lane isn't very wide, kerbs both sides (so you can't swerve out), and has piles of horse shit every 6 foot or so.
At least on Birdcage Walk, the road is wide enough to shoulder check and then swerve round the shit.

The other day there was a line of stationary traffic the way I was heading all the way up to a set of lights at a crossroads. Between me and those lights was a light-controlled pedestrian crossing.
Nothing was coming the other way so I was overtaking the stationary cars. As I approached the pedestrian crossing, with the lights on green, four kids who must have been about 5 or 6 ran out from between the cars, followed by their mum, walking. She turned and saw me slowing down only when she was half way across the other lane, seemingly as an afterthought. She had obviously just pushed her kids into the road, between two stopped cars, on a red light, without even checking herself if anyone was coming. Great example.
If I'd been Strava-hunting, carelessly brklzing, or just not paying attention, it could have been horrible. Luckily I tend to expect the worst of people.

You should take extra care where the view of either side of the crossing is blocked by queuing traffic or incorrectly parked vehicles. Pedestrians may be crossing between stationary vehicles.
