The scythe blade is the wrong profile & it appears to be missing the lower handle.

I know. You really were going through a rough patch then.The scythe blade is the wrong profile & it appears to be missing the lower handle.

The OP mentions a cycle superhighway rather than a path. Of course, it's still shared use, like carriageways theoretically are too, so you still have to beware people entering it, but much of the guff emitted on this site about shared use paths is even less relevant than usual.It is just one of the many hazards that a wheeled road user has to watch out for. There are many, many other threads about appropriate behaviour/speeds for shared use cycle paths. I suggest that if you hurt yourself so badly in this case then you may have been going way to fast for the situation. Learn the lesson and move on.

And seeing as everyone is being too darned polite, I'll say it: that hat is about as likely to have hurt you as protected, see https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/the-cyclechat-helmet-debate-thread.187059/

Thats why their called werewolves, you never know Where they will spring from .....oh is that my coat?Cycling through rural Norfolk one night and I almost got knocked off by a werewolf.
Many years ago, my friend Tina and I were running for a bus in Glasgow. It was a very windy day and the street was lined with tall buildings. Tina was a few paces ahead of me when a seagull took off from the roof of one of the buildings, totally misjudged the wind and came clattering down on Tina's head, knocking her off her feet. The bird gathered itself and flew off leaving us doubled over with laughter. We missed the bus!Sorry but I need to voice my frustrations!!!! I just nearly died due to a pigeon! It was fine but I ended up ducking quite vehemently. If it wasnt for my bobble hat I would have probably died. Luckily I only got away with stitches and an injured knee. Why dont pigeons respect pedestrians!? Why do they just fly around the carriageway lanes totally ignoring incoming traffic. The thing is it wasnt even in my line it just saw me suddenly and flew infront of my foot!!!! Whats the point of these footways if pigeons just continue to fly around oblivious to the world around them.
