What's the scariest thing that has ever happened to you on the bike? Plus cycling with your cat + more on episode 10 of the road.cc Podcast

Being hit head on by a car and laughing over the roof via the windscreen... Sorry it's not a funny one!

Got tailgated by an HGV, that was pretty scary.

Reported it to the police, it's been almost 6 months and no feedback so I'm probably OK to post the video soon.

Scary experiences? Cycling on a remote route in South Africa. Came across a pack of baboons. By the time I realised, I was in the middle of them. I've never sprinted so hard in my life. I don't know whether they chased me, I didn't look back for the next mile.

Wish I'd had a computer with me; it could have been my first and last Strava KoM.

1. Waking up in an ambulance after being sideswiped by a truck. 
2. T boning a car that pulled out if front of me. Only 5 minutes into my ride on a nice long downhill. 

I was once asked to pay more than £5 for coffee and cake. That is a true story.

(Seeds are generally *sown* BTW.)

coming back to consciousness in an ambulance

Audax 200km, mid february, freezing tempertures, freezing rain/hail, could barel;y hold on to the handlebars let alone operate the gears or brakes, woefully underprepared i'll admit, we hit a downhill, I career down it desperately looking for the rear brake realise I'm not going to make the corner, then I just entered a netherworld where somehow, without any concious effort from myself I avoided 3 parked cars,skipped onto the pavement skimmed a couple of rows of hedges and landed in the third. No injuries, was too tired to care and carried on. I do recall tears coming down my eyes nearing the end.

Exiting a tunnel to see two cars side by side occupying the whole width of the road coming towards us at about 70mph.  I fell off into a gateway, and the two behind me went into the hedge.  The days before I used a camera unfortunately.

Having just hurtled down Kidds Hill, I was breaking and leaning into a sharp right hand turn when the retention bolt holding my saddle in place decided to snap just before I reached the ford...It was a long, slow and careful ride home trying not to get too intimate with the seat post.

Finding a crack which went halfway round my head tube about 5 minutes after doing 35mph down a hill.

My wife hates sheep, she was nearly sick when I sent her this this morning 😬

Shimmy - on a road descent in South Downs area.  Really thought I was going to end up on the deck at some speed.
