Dangerous sport these days.. Never crossed my mind growing up though I'm sure the risk was still there. Fearlessness and indestructible mindset of youth I suppose.
I took my new bike out Tuesday just to get a feel for the setup, a couple times up and down our neighborhood private drive. Just as I was returning to my driveway a truck driven by a lady that had been checking mole traps at my neighbors started backing out of the driveway at pace, strait into my path. I started waving my arms and yelling while moving quickly to the side of the road and the driver finally stopped and pulled forward. They rolled down their window and apologized while giving the often repeated comment, I never saw you, you were in my blind spot.
Glad you are OK. Glad I assumed the driver didn't see me.
