Hi there,

This morning I got blown off the road by a bus!
Luckily I am OK!

I managed to catch myself on the grass,
so I didn't fall off the bike, but I was totally forced off the road by the turbulence, as the
bus passed very close to me.

It is quite a windy day anyway, so it wasn't my best commute to work! I ride everyday usually,
and it is 7 miles each way from a village called Eynsham to Oxford, UK.

The roads here are awful. We have enormous holes that your bike would disappear in! At night
it is treacherous as you can't see the holes!
