Beware of BikesI've seen bumper stickers in NZ, Australia and New York warning drivers to be aware of
cyclists; "Beware of Bikes" they say.
Here in China it has another meaning.
So, if you are wondering why the gap in my monthly blog, it is because i wasn't aware of
bikes, or at least one bike in particular which struck me from behind on a crossing,
[green light in my favour!]
So, thanks to the selfish, inconsiderate actions of one woman who was in too much of a
hurry to wait for the light to change, and who left when I was unconcious, I ended up in
a local hospital for almost 2 months with a broken hip and fractured pelvis, and will spend
another 6 months learning to walk again.
China has come a long way in a short time, but as anyone who lives here will tell you,
while the general population have no respect for anyone else, their property or the law it
will never become a civilised society. |
