I was riding home from class tonight, and I was coming up on the 90 degree left hand turn that starts the last stretch of the ride. There is a curb on both sides of the road. I was traveling at about 20-22 mph, and didn't feel like slowing to take the turn. I overshot the turn a little bit, and as I looked down as I approached the curb(I was leaning full over)I realized that I was WAYYYY too close to the solid concrete that would end me...by the time I made the turn, my front tire had come about ONE INCH from the curb!!! That got my heart going for sure!!
