Last night I was bicycling home from work to my flat. I have to pass a river, which has only a very narrow area at the left side of the road for pedestrians. Any sane bicyclist in Seville takes tis path too as its way to dangerous to get yourself out on the road, definatly on that dark and remote bridge! So I was going up the bridge when a bunch of guys came down on motorbikes and one on a quad. Crossing with the bikes was not a problem, but the quad took up all the space so it was obvious to me that would not work. Either he had to go up or I had to go down, but when we met halfway the bridge, it became clear none of us was gonna take the long way. Least he slowed down, and I almost made a complete stop trying to make him realise it was not going to work. But he went on, was sure it would work, steered as far as he could to the right, and made it halfway passed me, to then start steering back to the left too early, and crashing into me! As a consequence I lost my balance, and was destined to dive down the river shore. He stopped and grabbed for me superfast, and this way saved me from a very unpleasant fall down. He apologised big time, and his friends came to see if all was alright, but I couldnt help but rub him in my ‘I told you so’s!!!’. Nothing but a little bruise on my right leg where he hit me with his bloody quad I decided to forgive him and go on my way, safely over the bridge, no dangerous dives down.
