Individual Blog Entry
Life on my bike is usually nice and peaceful. I cycle to and from work listening to some chilled out music, but... this week things have gone crazy!
It all started on Tuesday evening when I was cycling into Stevenage town center. Some scruffy clothed bloke wearing a hat that partially hid his face came up to me and said "Can I have a chat?". Being a little dubious about his intentions I politely said that I was busy and carried on cycling.
At that point he gave me a disgruntled look and reached into his inside jacked pocket. Fearing for my life I looked away and tried to ignore his reaching for a knife/gun/syringe/dildo and continued on my merry way.
He grabbed my shoulders and stopped me to show me his police badge. "You're being dangerous" he said. Quite how, I don't know since I was cycling slower than walking pace behind someone else. "Get off your bike and walk, alright? Get off your bike and walk.".
My apologies to Steveage for my reckless and dangerous cycling on Tuesday but I did get my comeupance on Wednesday evening. I was cycling between lots of the big shops in Hitchin after work reccying for a good source of Christmas decorations.
As I turned the corner into B&Q, cycling fairly fast, I hit a patch of slippery tarmac and lost control. Steering into the skid as you're meant to I started to gain my balance again but unfortunately ended up hitting the ground on my left, taking most of the strain in my left shoulder and skidding about 15 meters to a stop.
I still ache.

Didn't the copper give you a reason?

The PC was probably tailing the people in front and Matt's bike was acting as a distraction for the PC.
Hehe.. funny story Matt! I had a bike accident last week too, alas, mine was on a motorbike and yes I still ache.

I tried something similar in a car last month. Spinning out at 60mph is not something i recommend doing.
Thankfully, I came out with no aches and pains except in the wallet after replacing the car.
