Yes, he must really hurt today. Maybe Maddy is right, hard to believe you'd be able to walk into the road like that (let alone walk away from an accident) without drink/drugs being involved. But obviously I can't say this for sure.
Perhaps more controversially, the other thing that struck me was that if I'd been bombing along on my bike I'd never have been able to stop in time ... Is stating the bleeding obvious, but taking time to be cautious (thanks B2) true for bikes as well.
