theoscaronian Who thought that this little fella was 2 centimetres to killing me. I was on the #GreatVic bike ride when a kangaroo started jumping frantically beside us ( about 40 k's per hour) when it decided to jump 2 centimetres in front of me. If I just pushed one more pedal, I would've had some serious scars. #closecall #helloheaven #kangaroo
