バスと自転車と親切なおじさん Bus, bike, and a kind man

今日はコロナの予防接種。狭い路地の車道を自転車で走っていたら、私の脇スレッスレを路線バスがけっこうなスピードで通り過ぎた！

「こわっ！！」と思わず口に出て急停車したら、歩道を通りがかっていたおじさんが、「気をつけて」と声をかけてくれた。大丈夫？見てたよ、と。嬉しかった！そんなことあるんだ。ビックリ＆素通りはよくあると思うけれど……親切な方に感謝でした。

バスが通る狭い道は走らないようにしよう！！（汗）　いくらヘルメットかぶってても無事じゃ済まないわ…

 I had a covid vaccination today. On the way home, as I was riding my bicycle down a narrow alleyway, a bus passed by my side at a considerable speed!

I screamed and stopped abruptly, feeling real danger, and a man passing by on the sidewalk said to me, "Be safe." in a caring tone saying "Are you okay?   I saw it." 

I can't express how happy it made!  It's so nice of them.  I think it's common to be surprised & pass by without saying anything.  I'm really touched by his kindness and prompt reaction to ask if I was okay. 

I'll try not to bike on narrow streets that also buses run!  Even with my helmet on, I won't be safe if I come in contact with a running bus..
