Bugger. Riding home tonight (at a moderate speed) a woman stepped off the pavement right in front of me without looking. I braked and went over the handlebars. I ended up on the floor and, despite the fact that I had collided with her - she broke my fall! - she just walked away. A couple of lads came to ask if I was all right, and a couple of cars stopped to check if I needed help. Fortunately, I seem to have just bruised an elbow and wrenched my knee - but here's the thing, it was the knee I had replaced just a couple of months ago. Lots of ice this evening and more of the same over the next few days are in order, I reckon. Could have been a lot worse.
Still shaken, but feeling lucky, and amazed that she could just walk away like that without even turning around to see if I was all right.
