Escapes from mishaps. In a month's time, I could have been seriously injured twice.

One time, I was on a mountain bike going at about 50 km/h to 60 km/h. I tripped in to potholes and got derailed. I fell off on the ground with my back. I got really lucky with just a very minor bruise.

Another time, just about four hours ago, a tri-cycle coming head-on almost got me squeezed between another tri-cycle going in the same direction as me. My bike got squeezed. I jumped off the bike not to be trapped. I had to take about 10 steps to counter the momentum. I didn't get any cut.

I am writing this not to boast about how lucky I have been. It is to remind myself to be extra-conscious while I am on the road.
