I had my second near-miss on teh recumbent on Friday (well, OK, the first near-miss was actually a hit).
I'm riding along a residential road. My lane is empty (apart from me), but teh oncoming lane is solid stationary queue (not sure why - it's not normally jammed up). Buzzing up teh side of teh queue (well into my lane) come two moped scooter thingys. They're weaving around each other, apparently racing. The one in the lead sees me coming, so slows and pulls over nearish to teh queue of traffic. His mate swung wide round him and proceeded head-on towards me while looking over his shoulder, apparently wondering why teh other chap had pulled over. How does genetic material like that survive this long?
As he went past me, he was still looking over his shoulder. I think there were nearly two centimetres between us as he passed.

Because there's no justice :-)
That's nice. If the yoof had crashed into an oncoming vehicle on this occasion it would have been Ian. It's fairly unpleasant when you can see a collision developing and there's bugger all you can do about it. When you're likely to be involved in the impending collision it's even unpleasanter.

That is where you need an Air Zound. Make them think that they are about to meet a juggernaught and they will learn two things:
1) look where they are going 2) how to remove brown stains from undergarments.

Maybe the big Darwinian super computer in the sky thought 'OK, I can take out the terminally stoopid one -- but at the cost of an advanced lifeform -- viz. a cyclist'
In this case the balance was negative so you survived.
