The shoulder check is the consequence of an unavoidable collision,
shoulder first. I make (as you may have gathered) no apologies,
and do not regret educating some child in the matter
of looking before stepping.

You appear to be trying to make out that I'm taking part in some
kind of cycle based death race 2000 on a daily basis, which
is not the case.

Perhaps an earlier explanation of the novel term "shoulder check" would
have helped. I, like Luke, interpreted it as meaning a deliberate
collision.

Oh, the shoulder check was quite deliberate;
the *collision* wasn't.

I had time to alter the nature, but not
the fact of the collision.
