    Hi
    The other day I was cycling home at night. I wasn’t sure where I was so was looking at street names and cycled right through a red light. If I’d been a second slower a taxi (going really fast) would have hit me. As it turned out I was fine – the taxi beeped at me and a police officer shouted at me. Obviously this was totally my fault. Normally I am a safe cyclist but my brain totally switched off at this point in time. This has scared me a bit. What if I lose focus again? And I don’t think I’d have been okay if the taxi had hit me. I just feel very shaken because I almost died/was seriously injured.

    I didn’t know who to tell this to so just thought I’d put this out in the universe here. Thank you for reading.

    Please stay safe! Make sure you’re wearing bright/reflective clothing. Hopefully you learn from this experience to be a lil more vigilant, though it happens to us all, sometimes. (Maybe not to such a drastic extent, but y’know..)

    Dear Mia:

    It pays to be Mindful, to pay attention. Being mindful maximizes your chances for survival by preventing and avoiding accidents of all kinds. Really, we face danger daily and it pays to pay attention. Prevention is best policy. Safety is never a guarantee. Take good care of yourself, glad you did not get hurt.

    Hello Mia,

    Very glad you’re safe! I almost was hit by a car once and it left me feeling very shaken, even a few days afterwards. How are you feeling now?
