When my friend had picked himself off the pavement, he wiped the blood off his knee and smeared it down the front of the woman's dress.
There is NOTHING 'very safe' on the public roads.
Yes, like this? Being on the road is a risk. All we can do is minimise the risks whilst maintaining good progress. Filtering through two lanes of traffic does have risk, but if cycling correctly the risk is minimal. I've seen people open doors in many unusual situation, but not in slow moving two lane traffic....
