Hi
The other day I was cycling home at night. I wasn’t sure where I was so was looking at street names and cycled right through a red light. If I’d been a second slower a taxi (going really fast) would have hit me. As it turned out I was fine – the taxi beeped at me and a police officer shouted at me. Obviously this was totally my fault. Normally I am a safe cyclist but my brain totally switched off at this point in time. This has scared me a bit. What if I lose focus again? And I don’t think I’d have been okay if the taxi had hit me. I just feel very shaken because I almost died/was seriously injured.

I didn’t know who to tell this to so just thought I’d put this out in the universe here. Thank you for reading.
