Yesterday a pedestrian stepped out from between two cars stopped in traffic while I was riding by on the left. She didn't look either way. I hit the brakes so hard I felt my rear wheel start to skid just before it lifted off the ground... and then I was riding on as if nothing had happened. Whew!
Five minutes later, the same thing happened, but from the other side. Doh!
