    Yesterday I had a way too close miss of a pedestrian.

    I was in S.F. visit my son. I wrong turn had put me off
    in a bunch of narrow one way streets on the east end
    of Chinatown.

    I was making a left turn from a one way into another,
    cutting close to the curb when this guy stepped off the
    curb right into my path.

    I stamped my left foot down, brought the bike up a little,
    steered hard right and managed to swing wide around him.
    I don't think I could have stopped if I'd been unable to
    swerve.

    Unfamiliar surroundings, way more full of people than I'm
    used to. This was way too close and I'm really thankful
    I was able to avoid hitting him. Resolved to be way more
    cautious in seriously urban crowd settings.

    not reeky.tech. Apologies.
