\"My<\/a>

My 19th (?) escape: the cycling accident I nearly had in London<\/p><\/div>
\n I picked up this helpful leaflet from the London Cycling Campaign<\/a> and modified it a little to show an the occasion on which a truck driver nearly killed me – about two years ago. He behaved exactly as illustrated and knocked me onto the footpath. Lying between the wheels of his turning truck, I screamed. He heard me and stopped. Then he told me it was my own silly fault – and drove off leaving me too shocked to claim for damage to my bike. Limping home, I remembered my Mum’s poem:
\n “Oh dear Mama
\n What is that mess
\n That looks like strawberry jam”
\n “Hush hush, my dear,
\n That is Papa,
\n Run over by a tram”<\/em>
\n Cyclists need to be sustained if we are to have sustainable cycling in London.<\/p>\n
