Watch for incoming bouncing objects; Leeds cyclist down

[DCLane]

In Bramley, near Leeds yesterday evening: http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co....-swerving-to-avoid-football-in-road-1-4972355

Hit by a football from the park.

Hope he recoverers.

I pass a 5 aside sometimes on my commute: there are often stray footballs coming my way, one time the players asked me to throw it back to them

Incoming bouncing objects which put me off my ride are sometimes attributable to lycra-clad joggers. Dangerous nonetheless !

Got hit by a rugby ball in warrington 2 years ago..going past victoria park. Bunch of scallies booted it ahead of me and it kicked back and walloped me on my head.

A couple of year ago I was on the way to work when I was passed by an artic doing 50ish on the dual carriageway. Something fell off the back of the trailer, hit the road and bounced over my head. I stopped to see what it was....... It was a short handled lump hammer! Bloody lucky it bounced as well as it did or it would have taken my head off.

I'd have kept the hammer as a souvenir.

Annyway, I haven't been hit by anything, but I kicked a football off the footpath I was cycling along, kicking it as I passed.

I got hit by a golf ball, which ricocheted off my helmet chipping off some of the laminate.
I believe that without my helmet, it would have missed.

I wish the Leeds cyclist a speedy and full recovery.

When I was a lad cycling through Moss Side in Manchester, half bricks lobbed towards you were a regular feature.

Towards me?!!

What did I do?

Only halves? They obviously didn't think you was worth a full brick
