And then there is just plain stupidity. I was tired from a long ride (1.) and cutting across a crowded supermarket parking lot on Saturday(2) when a lady in one of those godawful right wheel drive Sterling(Hondas) came charging up the wrong way aisle and I would have T-boned her. My wheel was turned and I hit the front brake too hard and went down with one foot on the ground to keep from dropping the bike, with a madly revving engine. ("Sorry," she said,"I didn't see you."
But it was all my fault even though I know better, sometimes I don't do better. The only saving grace was I was going slow, about 20. No harm done except to my pride. Lots of lessons here.
