True confession: when I stop in front of my house, I aim for the azaleas,... just in case.
Oh - and when I first started riding, I crashed into a hedge. And a fire hydrant. Amazing that I'm still riding!

I'm glad you are okay, albeit a bit shaken up. Maybe you should call the bus company and file a complaint?? They shouldn't be allowed to run you off the road!!

Did you write a trip report of your Welsh trip? We were there a couple of years ago; no cycling, though. Alas.
