Just deserts?

So, I'm cycling in Nanjing. Coming towards me on the wrong side of the road (well, to be fair, there is no wrong side of teh road from a Chinese motorcyclist's point of view) is a motorcyclist. He's going quite slowly on his electric 'motor' bike and checking his phone, reading a text or sending one, as he drives. His phone in his left hand, he leans to his right to spit on the road (again, a very normal event, nothing shocking so far) and then things go wrong for him.

He doesn't spit hard enough - or the wind is stronger than he thinks - and the spit lands on his right coat sleeve. He quickly tries to wipe it off with his left hand and manages to drop his phone in the process. As he makes a desperate snatch for his phone, and misses, he hits a parked car in front of him.

And I'm almost laughing hard enough to fall off my own bike...

First ride of 2014

Long overdue, my first ride of 2014 - first since 13 Nov 2013 in fact. 70km was a bit much, cramps and saddle sore, but good to have completed...
