A few weekends ago while on a training ride for the Great Victorian Bike Ride, I was swooped by a bird - possibly a Grey ButcherBird.
Thankfully, I was riding along the heavily wooded bike path along a Freeway and not on the road with traffic flowing close by. It was quite a frightening experience with potentially disastrous results had I been in a busier location.
So last Sunday, keen to not let this incident put me off riding, I rode with a head(helmet)dress.
I turned a few heads, I got a few smiles and I may have looked silly - but I had PIECE OF MIND at least for one leg of my ride.
Because, on my return leg I looked down at my shadow and noticed with horror the absence of spikes on my helmet.
This post is to say farewell to my head(helmet)dress - you gave me confidence to ride through Magpie Swooping territory.

I am going to try googly eyes for my next ride.
