Riding home from work yesterday I decided as it was a nice afternoon I'd go home the " quiet" scenic route . Just rounded a bend to be confronted by an artic with low loader trailer reversing towards the bend !!! I was already in his blind spot fortunately there was a grass verge I managed to get over onto and hunker by the hedge , he never saw me obviously and even now wouldn't know I was there . The other bit of luck was a woman coming the other way reversed back so the lorry stopped reversing . After he'd gone she saw me and said I'm so relieved you are ok I saw you coming round the bend then you disappeared from view . It was only when I got home and calmed down I thought why didn't she shout to the lorry driver that there was a cyclist behind . Way too close for comfort I couldn't do anything to alert him that I was there .
