By bike to work in Budapest

Due to the school start in Budapest I decided to go by bike to work today. Everything went fine. As usual when I go by bike I am almost as fast as by car except that I don’t have the traffic. On my way back though I nearly got hit by a car. After I breaked heavily and he as well I was looking through the front window (it was so close that it was only 2m away from me) and the guy new exactly that he made a big mistake and almost hit me. His head was hanging down, his eyes almost closed and he was trying to find some mistake between the gas and the break pedal.

Unfortunately this is an everyday experience here in Budapest since the roads for bikers are too poor and there are just some in the entire city. But in the same time I love riding my bike and won’t let go.

Have your say!
