[Closed] GRARGH, now I’m ‘too quiet!’

Malvern Rider · 2020-08-25T17:11:24Z

On the eggbike, turning from main street into back street. Busy town is busy right now, madly so (is there still a pandemic on atm?) Anyway, I’m riding at walking pace as I turn in (because of number of hazards (post office depot end of day, vans, cars , ppl everywhere) Young mother holding hand of 5yr-old (son?) steps out from between parked cars/chelsea tractors. Walks right in front of me, oblivious to surroundings/doing something with the kid’s coat sleeve/looking away from the junction she is walking across. I’m primed and ready to stop (walking pace, as mentioned). I pull up in centre lane about 6 feet away from them. She still doesn’t see me, she seems to be fishing for car keys. I wait. She finally looks to her right: ‘OH! Sorry, you were just SO quiet’ Glad I wasn’t a Tesla.
