Biking

I have been riding to work for ten years now and here are the stats:

1. I have had a major incident once every 5 years, e.g. knocked off by a car
2. Once a year I manage to do something silly, usually when drunk but not always, which results in either me or my bike getting minor scuffs
3. Once every two months I have a road rage incident, normally with a tradie (they often seem to be very angry about something)
4. Once a week a motorist within striking range will do something very stupid, but thankfully these acts are very predictable also (for those of us that ride often). The major culprits are taxis, mothers in SUV’s, people on phones, buses, Asians, truck drivers, …
5. Once a year another cyclist will get all high and mighty with me for my scant regard of the road rules
6. I get to chat to a law enforcement officer about once a year. It always results in a friendly wave goodbye
