Title: Nearly an incident.........not
Post by: Blodwyn Pig on 21 January, 2021, 03:04:12 pm
Getting old!   Was out today, and turned on to a main road, and was then riding into the low Sun, which seemed not to be the best option, safety wise.  So I went up on the disused pathway at the side, along in front of some houses.   Then out of nowhere, a cyclist wearing a yellow jacket , came at me from the left.  Shhhht......... brake.........  And there he was , also stopped , looking at me, wearing exactly the same jacket as me.  Yes, you've guessed it, it was me, my reflection in the glass of a bay window of one of the houses.   I felt such a  fool, and it has never happened to me before.   Live and learn   ::-)

That's up there with that of another member OTP bidding a "good morning" to a wheelie bin with a bin bag on top of it  ;)

Ha ha!  :D Good job you managed to stop in time, otherwise it could've been bad for you and your, er, identical twin.
