On the way home from work late last evening a near miss on Yarra Boulevard nearly spoiled my night. I was going down a slight decent at about 40 km/hr, there was no one in front of me and no one behind me. I could have been the only person on the road for miles around for all I knew. When a psycho possum choose the exact same moment I was passing by to attempt a kamikaze run across the road! In a reflex action I stood up out of the seat as if to jump and swerve at the same time. I’m sure it didn’t, but it seemed like the possum ran between the front and back wheel! In a split second I came back down hard on the seat and did my impression of the nutcracker! With tears welling up in my eyes I rode on, hoping that my falsetto voice would return by the time I got home! fortunately it did, and if I come across that possum with a death wish again it may just get what it is asking for!
On your bike!
