Also, on other news: I fell with my bike today. The bikechain fell of the gears when I set off again after waiting at a red light, which made the pedals yank my feet down and set me flying right into the curb. Luckily for me, I was not biking in the middle lane anymore as I was at first, otherwise I would have surely been badly hurt, if not killed. So I have decided, in view of this incident and the fact that the whole ride before that I was thinking "this is madness, I am never riding down Smithdown Road anymore, what horrible country is this that they don't even have bike-paths!", that I will not be riding down Smithdown Road anymore when going from Plattsville Road in the direction of City Centre (madness!), only when coming back up (much safer). Instead, I will figure out a peaceful route through backstreets and parks, so I can take my bike out for a spin without risking to be killed on the way.
This country should really start thinking about its cyclists...
