After a tiring day at school, I took a bus out to the interchange. While enjoying the scenic ride, a cyclist zoomed past my bus as it stopped to pick up some passengers. He wasn’t wearing a helmet, and as he approached the hump, I witnessed him leaping off into the midair like a hot potato being flung out from the window.
His bicycle twisted into a mess while he did a somersault in the air, literally!!! But landed flat on his nose…
*Ouch* I squeak!!
That was a scene of the century!!! Ok, I shall not be mean; he must have hurt himself really badly… he lay on the road for a good 3 seconds before scrambling back to his feet. At that moment, a motorcyclist from the opposite lane stopped to assist him. I don’t know what happened next, but when my bus past him, he was bleeding from his head, nose and elbow.
The most fortunate thing is that no other buses or cars bypass that area. It won’t be funny if he was flung into midair and get hit by another speeding car.
But my point is - roads are constructed for vehicles. Bicycles are not proper vehicles if the cyclists are not professional enough to ride on it. Having a non professional cyclist on the road is as dangerous as a crazy mother pushing her baby’s stroller on the expressway.
Earlier this year, there was also an accident that involved a local DJ, in which he lost some teeth due to a terrible fall. I do have my fair share of injuries associated to bicycles. There was once I tried to impersonate Harry Potter and rode straight into the wall, hoping that it will bring me to some magical land. I was wrong... I bang head-on into the wall and had left a permanent scar on my left foot. Ok, just condemn me.
Look at the number of bicycles!!!! omg...
