dennis the menace

i really am a dennis the menace.
we went for a ride this morning for stu to meet his training grp, nd whilst crossing the road, i didnt counter in a bump or something and i fell forward hitting myself on hte nobby bit below the handlebar..OMG i was in soooooooooo much pain, i got to the other side and then jumped off the bike and wallowed on the floor for a bit....lol im sure cars were looking at me oddly
oh yeah and look out kidlets or ill knock you over too!

i was riding along and slowed greatly as there was a little girl on a trike(her dad a bit behind) anyway she veered left so i went around on the right but then she veered violently right and ive screeched on my brakes and the little tacker came off her bike...she wasnt realy scratched or anything but i was so close to running her over-she was practically under my bike. ive turned around to her dad and im like- im really sorry, and hes going No, no i saw it, you couldnt do ANYTHING she just rode into you. (and then i did hear him telling her to ride straight...lol)

i dont like to think what wouldve happened if i hadnt slowed to a crawl.. anyway thats one of the reasons i dont like paths so i jumped onto the road for a bit. rode for 24kms altogether

It happens alot at Jells, if I see a kid on a bike and I am running intervals I go WIDE!!!

Little kids and dogs off leash are a cyclists biggest hazard on the bike paths, oh and glass too, I hate people who break glass on the bike paths.
