Was cycling home this evening, in primary, doing about 18mph,
I was just coming up on a couple of kids on an MTB riding on the footpath (one kid doubling the other on his handlebars) when they swerved out off the footpath onto the road directly in front of me.
Had the bike hanging out sideways with the back wheel fully locked up trying to avoid them... fortunately I held it together, and (barely) missed them...
I think we all got a bit of a fright, and hopefully they learned not to ride into the road suddenly.
I guess you've got to be alert all of the time because the unexpected really can happen...
