Flying home (early finish) some girls (linking arms cross the road up ahead). cars approaching (and me) and they got confused somehow and tried to run back but they were linked so there was a little line of them. Anyway, took out their legs and came off the bike... both parties fine... teenagers, sheesh!

    Glad all are ok. I must admit I go ballistic when it happens to me.

    Peds are worse than cars imho. Had my second off at the ped crossing near work today. It's DC; one lane for traffic and the other is a bus lane so when traffic is backed up people think they can just walk out into the bus lane.

    i didn't even get to the airzound in time either. usually look right ahead and they had all but crossed the road but came back again. anyway, good job it wasn't tailwind. rohloffs have a lot of momentum.
