was –><– that far away from taking out a dog* once. right in front of a 3yr old kid. stupid parent/owner saw me riding along the bike path, so called the dog back. the paws were *under* the tyre, but not squashed.
(* by dog, I mean “dog” – white curly haired thing about the size of a cat)
also –><– that far away from taking out a lollipop lady. I know you’re sposed to stop, but I think the onus is on them to actually look to see if it’s safe to step in to the street before doing so. she was going to report me to the local village policeman. told her “it’s no problem. he’s my neighbour… I’ll report the incident myself, as I’m on the way home anyway” 😉
