another friend got clotheslined by two kids while riding across the bridge one night.
well that's thing, i always look over my shoulder and am aware at all times.
I almost got clotheslined once by 15 kids who blockaded the road. I weaved through and made it out, but my friend was taken down.
point is, be aware and be smart and you will be trouble free (most of the time) - but never lose sight that trouble CAN be right around the corner.
