I was cycling home in the failing light this afternoon after a game of squash. On the cycle path coming towards me there is a pedestrian being overtaken by another cyclist. After overtaking the pedestrian, the cyclist swings straight into my path, and too late to do anything about it, we both come to a crunching stop, bikes entangled, practically in each other's arms. I think I might've sworn a bit as we crashed. Before I've recovered from the shock of the crash she is asking me if I'm OK. I seem to be OK. I ask her if she's OK. She seems to be OK too. Is my bike OK, she asks. It looks a bit wonky but nothing too serious. Is it damaged, she asks. No, I think it's just a bit skewiff. So we've established that we're both pretty much OK, which is a bit surprising after the sudden drama of the crash. She's evidently still a bit shocked, as am I, but she apologises again, telling me she was distracted by the pedestrian. I tell her it's fine. She moves off a little bit and checks her bike. I do the same. I wish her a happy Christmas. She does the same. Two more pedestrians who must've seen the crash ask if we're OK, and imply we must've been drinking. (It was only a lager shandy.) It was just one of those things, not really her fault or mine, I probably should've slowed down a bit and given her a bit more room, she probably should have noticed me sooner. As I cycle off, I notice that my front wheel is actually quite badly buckled. Why didn't I speak to her more? It's also clunking. She seemed really nice. Some broken spokes. She didn't swear at me, she was very apologetic, and seemingly more concerned about me than herself. Why didn't I offer to check her bike? As I cycle home, handlebars pointing in the wrong direction and the front wheel making a regular clunk clunk clunk noise, I start to picture the scene, years from now at Christmas when we're telling our grandchildren how we met.

"Of course, I met your granny when she crashed into me on her bike on Christmas eve,"
"Yes we know, granddad."

It's just the kind of story people have. It could have been so good. We could have had a whole life together. Marriage, children, fights, tears and laughter, maybe even a trial separation but I know we'd have ended up together that Christmas with the grandchildren, old enough for our love to seem ridiculous to the youngsters.

She could've been the one. These things happen all the time. Such an idiot.

 

Bless! Thats lovely she didnt just swear a lot and blame you like most people would. I hope you have a chance meeting again! Its blates the kind of story that needs to happen...only with a twist...you first met when your bikes crashed, then completely coincidentally met the second time when you bumped your trolleys in the supermarket and you made her drop her hobnobs

I hate it when that happens though, when you reaise you should have said more at the time but just didnt because of the surprise. Grr

Glad youre ok!:cheers2:

 

Had a romantic walk around a lake and in a forest and saw a pair of swans with 6 cygnets (well they still had some brown feathers), some ducks, geese, strange exotic-looking birds, bluebirds, blackbirds, squirrels, hawks, falcons, and robins
