Rode in to driveway and propped bike by the front door. Bin day next morning so head out of drive way to find out if it's the green waste or the recyled this week (I can never remember).
Old habits die hard, poke head out of driveway to check both ways before emerging. WHOOOSH as a cyclist who I judged to be in his early forties wafts by about two inches from my nose on the bloody pavement, closely followed by his dog. If I'd just walked out without looking we'd have been a tangled heap on the floor.
Stood there doing guppy fish impression for a couple of seconds, thought about remonstrating but gave up 'cause really couldn't be bothered. Riding on the pavement is not cool and it's not clever, especially when it's dark and you don't even have any lights.
He was wearing a helmet though
