Default near miss

riding in a group of 11 bikes today i was number 3 with my wife on the back of my bike .&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; we were going about 40 when a truck going the opposite direction with a buch of tubers on the back&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; ( they go down a river near my house on truck tire tubes) let go of thier truck tire tube it bounced once whent behind lead then bounced right in front of me i hit a corner of it then it went right under my wifes foot then flew to the side everyone else missed it.
i know it was an accident but when people dont have stuf tied down correctly&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; bad things happen..&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; this happened so fast that really wasnt time to react and i didnt do something drastic its good to know that when sh t hit the fan i was able to handle it properly.. always thought id hit a deer not a truck tire tube

Good for you man. I would have pulled out my knife and popped all his tubes after that! People can be soo irresponsible.

Glad to hear it worked out okay. At least it didn't catch you in the face!
