DezB: it would not have been an issue if you had given way to that pedestrian that was already crossing the road.
Ah, I know you’re jokin an that, but I was focused on the man with the dogs standing in the road (yes, he was standing still with one of the dogs between his legs) and suddenly Saw-man jumps out from the right! Really a nano-second between”oi!” or being a tangled mass of bike, bodies and chainsaws!
Hey PJ266- i usually wear an orange jacket, black road bike. Turn left up to Portsdown hill, so no point using the main road. You’re not the nutter who wears the black full-face in all weathers, are you?!
