near miss – BrownhillsBob's #365daysofbiking

May 3rd – Countryside cycling – errant wildlife is always a hazard. Here on the High Peak Trail, I watch helpless as this bunny runs before me.

Lucky escape there, Brer Rabbit!

June 6th – Cycling home, enjoying the sun I took to the canal through Pleck, south Walsall. Passing under the bridge, I slowed to a crawl as I couldn’t see the towpath ahead. True to form, a prat hurtles round the blind corner, nearly ends up in the canal, and as he steers around me I notice he has a toddler in a child seat at the rear of his bike. The kid is strapped in. If he’d gone in the water, there’s a real chance the child would drown.

Moron.

May 8th – This footage speaks for itself, I despair sometimes. I really do. One assumes that the principles of Darwinian evolution will take care of this one before too long.
