So been commuting by bike for 6 months now and in that time I have nearly been taken down by:
* A seagull
* Pedestrians (AKA in Brighton Lemmings)
* Cars/car doors/Vans etc
* potholes/debris on the road
* Black ice
* A runaway toddler
* Dogs
* Other cyclists (a common one is with a protrusion from the bike/ ruck sack such as a squash racket).
And a new first for me Thursday night, when a drunk amputee in a wheel chair decided he would like to move his wheelchair from the safety of the pavement on to the road. So I got to wondering if I have any thing else to look forward to. Has any one been nearly/taken down by any thing else I have not encountered so far?

Welcome!
A drunk amputee :shock: I'm almost envious
You've missed out on idiots throwing things at you from vehicles or the pavement. Kids deliberately stepping out in front of you either to scare you/for a dare/or to knick your bike :evil:
I've not experienced those.... yet.0 -
Motorbikes, buses, scooters, trucks?
Oh, and not forgetting the dreaded taxis.0 -
I'm guessing you don't ride clipless, as most people who do would add "clipless moment" to the list.0
